2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Noise on right turns. need help

[Dtroyer]

have a problem with my truck making a noise when I make a right turn only. I think its in the suspension because I can get it to make it when it's standing still by rocking the truck back and forth.

I don't know how else to describe the sound but to say that it sounds like "erk erk erk". It sounds like the sound goes with the wheels turning but what does'nt make sense is that I can get it to make the sound by rocking the truck. Any advise will help.

Put your front end up on a set of jack stands and then grabb the top center of the tire and push in and out. Your looking for axial play on the wheel bearings. If they are tight then check your brake calibers and how far down they are worn. It's a start. Good luck

I had a similar soounding noise that I thought was a loose shock. After installing new Bilsteins, the noise was still there. It turned out to be the front sway bar link. I got under the truck and rocked it until I zeroed in on it.

Thanks guys for the info I'll give those options a try.

The lower shock bolt on the passenger side is common for being loose, give that a crank with the 'ol breaker-bar.
