So my truck developed this weird clunk/rattling noise on the passenger side when going over bumps. I was thinking that my ball joints were shot or that the spindle nut had back off and that I was hearing the axle bearings hitting in the race.
I pull the wheel off and crawl under the truck and find that my friggin' brake caliper bolts were loose. The noise was the brake caliper rattling against the steering knuckle Maybe I shouldn't have put never-seez on the caliper bolts...
Luckily this noise only started yesterday and I fixed it this afternoon.
Edit. the bolts referred to in this thread are the 15mm head bolt holding the caliper bracket to the spindle--pictured above
