Scarry Front End

[BCFAST]

Once again, the front end of my Ram sounds/feels like it's going to fall out of the truck onto the road! I have a new NAPA track bar and all the bolts underneath seem tight. I greased up my steering column telescope a while back... could be all rusted up again... but the truck is making me nervous to drive lately. Any clues? Thanks in advance, guys!!

FRONT END

YOU MIGHT CHECK TO SEE IF ONE OF YOUR SPRING TOWERS HAS CRACKED AND OR BROKEN. IT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK

how are the stub axle U joints? if you have a bad u-joint it could make a racket. I beleave those joints were put in at 70,000 and are greasable.



Front brake pads ?



Ball joints?



tie rod's?



control arms?



shock towers?



shocks?



springs?

Just another idea...

I had a '97 with about 20k on it when a front shock went bad. That made a real quiet but deep BUMP that you could hear and FEEL on the floor of the truck. DC replaced both shocks under warranty.
