There is a fairly loud clunk that comes from the passenger side front when I make a sharp left hand turn, it happened only two times, and there is a much smaller clunk or click when I go over a speed bump slowly ( 5-10 mph ). The truck does pull to the right just slightly, but when it is corrected it is just fine, IT DOES NOT jerk when corrected. I am wondering if I have a ball joint problem or a shock/strut problem. When I inspected underneath the front end I saw that the tie rod arm that connects to the top of the ball joint on the passenger side (the drivers side looks fine) was tilted back, slightly rotated, instead of being level on top of the ball joint it was tilted towards the rear. I have not jacked it up and tested for movement yet, but with the truck on flat ground there was no play from the tie rod arm. Can anyone tell me if the ball joint is bad or if I need to check the shocks and struts.
