LOUD clunk in front end when turning at low speeds and when I just turn not moving...

[Black Goblin]

I have a loud clunking in my front end and I was wondering if the front pivit bushings could make this happen. It is starting to irritate me. I would like to get this noise gone and I was also wondering where I can get poli bushings for it too. thanks for the info in advance.

More likely its your radius arm bushings. Use poly, a bit more money but VERY durable. If you have a 4X4 also check your axle U-Joints. I had one go so bad it was clunking when I turned even in 2 high.

I have a full custom Lift. I don't have the stock style radius arms. I have tubular arms with joints that are like the Beam pivit joints. My axle shafts seem to be ok. I was wondering if it might be the shocks making the noise. I have some brackets that I have been wanting to get welded onto my radius arms to make it so the shocks weren't held on with just a bolt.

Have someone turn the wheels back and forth lock to lock while your looking around. Watch the springs and beam pivot points. Check the rubber seat under the springs. Check your ball joints and steering linkage for binding. Also check where the bolt goes through the joint on your radius arms, and that the arms are TIGHT where they bolt to the traction beam.

so there are no bushings in your suspension joints? you are running a heim type joint?
