OK, so the truck went in yesterday for this and brakes, and the noise ended up being the end links. One was shot, the other iffy. So they got replaced and the noise is gone. Per my mechanic, low frequency (speed) noises should be first addressed by links or sway bar bushings, and then go from there.

My brakes on the other hand, ended up being a mess. The parking brake pads were completely shot from a sticking issue prior, and one caliper had to be replaced because the piston was cracked. A new serpentine belt, caliper, 2 rotors, Hawk LTS pads, and NO parking brake shoes put back in later....and a lighter wallet.....I have brakes back!

But no clunk.

 

Excellent!

Awesome! Glad my thread helped someone!

 

[QUOTE=Stealth;4642180 I was driving ahead on a flat road under 10 mph and turning left then right slowly, sort of like a slalom. I could hear successive popping as it turned a ways to right or left of center, if that makes any sense. If I went too slow there was no popping, I guess there wasn't enough load to make it pop.

tale tale sign of Sway bar bushings, and as i did thought immediately thought to check them when you did that in the driveway coming back towards the shop and we heard the sound


FWIW i went back and checked over what i suggested for you to check and i never did mention the sway bar bushings :o
