Sway bar clunck

[jevc]

I’ve had clunk in the front end for some time. Just on two track rough and bumpy roads. I finally found the clunck. Worn out Sway bar end links. I replaced those and fixed the problem. clunk came back and I replaced the sway bar bushings with moog bushings. they were worn pretty good. That fixed the problem for for a little while. When the clunk came back. I replaced the bushings again as I though maybe i just had a bad set or the wrong ones. Within about 50 miles the good ol clunck came back. seems Like the clunk is there in the cool morning ( and I can move the sway bar laterally by hand and it has some play that replicates the same noise) and then goes away as the day gets hot. It’s driving me nuts. Any ideas on this one.

Multiple threads about the famous clunk already on here. Try a search. The things you mentioned I have also tried and I still have a clunk I can't track down.

Instead of replacing parts with cheap stock replacements, get upgraded parts.

I've replaced mine with the parts you listed, it unfortunately hasn't fixed my clunk. I do think it's better, but it's still there. It's driving me nuts.

Then it's not your sway bar clunking. Do you have a lift/level on the truck

Yes, just the Bilstein 5100s set to 2.1". I've gone through and confirmed everything is tight. I found my driver side tie rod somewhat loose the other day and I was able to turn that nut 2-3 full turns. I was hoping that was the cause, but it sadly was not.
