hey all my truck has started making an odd clunk when i turn to the left but here is the odd thing...
-it wont do it when stopped
-it wont do it in the air
-it wont do it at higher speeds
-it wont do it when really slow speeds
the truck only makes the sounds roughly at 10-20mph and turning left when the suspension is leaning. at first i thought it was my tire hitting the inner fender (the fabric bit of it) but i looked under as the truck was lock to lock and i have a lot of clearance so not that... then checked lug nuts (just for the off chance its loose) those are fine also... next thing to check is ball joint and other suspension parts with a pry bar and see if anything moves or what not..

information about the truck:
2022 fx4 leveled with eibach pro 2.0s that me and my buddy installed (not new to installing suspension btw) with 275/70/17 cooper st maxx the truck has roughly 10500 miles on it and its been leveled since 4000ish miles (ya i didnt wait to long). the noise didnt exist until recently when things got colder ive looked around on the truck at a few things but have yet to find anything that sticks out easily so tonight ill be pulling it into the garage and taking a look but wondering if anyone else has had an issue like this randomly show up on their trucks?

noise location:
only can hear and feel from the driver side (why i thought it was the tire hitting) it seems to be more of under the seat ish but at the same time i cant fully tell ill be honest it just seems to be either in the front or roughly below my seat


if anyone has had an issue like this or advice on what to look at let me know thanks.

Hey Jacob,

That sucks. I had a clunk while turning left in my 2001 Ranger - turned out to be a broken anti-sway bar link.

Had a recent clunk when turning left in my 2019 Ranger - turned out to be a broken anti-sway bar link.

I’m not saying it’s that but it’s worth checking out and I sure hope it’s something as simple as that. Cheap to buy, easy to replace - fingers crossed for you Jacob. I hope you get it figured out soon. ?

ya that would be nice i looked at the sway bar link and it seems fine it doesn't look broken off but maybe it broke further down and i cant see it or somethin idk ill take a look in that spot to see if something is up with it! i will be slightly annoyed if its already broken thou... low miles and no hard abuse to this truck and it broke is a bit dumb...

Sometimes, it doesn’t take much - the rubber boot got nicked and the socket corroded and failed - POP! Sometimes, stuff happens. ☹

So after taking a wheel off and looking around and checking things to see if they were tight I found nothing lose on the truck the only thing that might be making a noise is the inner fender carpet thing near the cabin so I took that and bent it out of the way I don’t think this was my noise but tbh idk what it could be… everything is night nothing moves so I have no idea

I can’t help myself. So I gotta say it cause someone else will.
Don’t turn left and it will stop making the noise?
I had a similar problem as the OP but it was just rocks in my head. :like:

I was just joking. I'm not doubting you. :thumbsup:
I feel crazy since it’s a decent sound and feel it should just be easy to spot but nope everything is tight in the drivers side and nothing hits when turning and again no noise is made when sitting still….
