Strange clunk from front driver side area

[AZJBT]

I have recently noticed this same phantom clunk from my passenger side. I too can feel and hear it at low speeds when I hit a bump.

Have you ever mentioned the clunk to your dealer, AZJBT? It sounds like you can reproduce it pretty easily; that will help when it comes time to diagnose it. What's your truck's model year/mileage?

Well, truck goes into dealer #2 for a second opinion on Thursday. More to follow... hopefully. It's heading out to play in the sand next week, so if they don't find anything wrong I'm sure I'll find it in the sand!

Just got a call from the dealership. They say I'm not crazy and my front driver side coilover is toast. I'm very thankful for my extended warranty right now. They should have it fixed by Monday.

So what happened to the coilover?

That, I don't really know at this point. I'll talk to them when I pick it up, see if we know anything more. At least I feel slightly more sane now.

I've had a front clunk for awhile now, I don't feel anything in the steering wheel and it only does it on sharp potholes going slow.
When I hit speed bumps there isn't any clunk at any speed.
But after reading these posts I'm going to have to get to the bottom of the clunk I have.

For what it's worth, I couldn't feel any issues in my steering wheel either, just over bumps/dips and it was more feeling it through the body - in particular by my feet. I could just tell it was coming from the front driver side suspension area. I only felt mine at slow speeds.

I don't feel anything anywhere but the clunk is loud if I hit a pothole just right.

Hi MTF,

Going to have your dealer take a look? If you need my help, you know how to reach me.
