The Truck is going in for service tomorrow and want to see if anyonw can guess what the hell is wrong with my truck. I turn the wheels all the way in front to the right and left and when I go to accelerate there is a horrible cluncking noise up front like somethng is loose. Only when the wheels are turned all the way though, and I try to accelerate. Answer will be posted by Friday, who will be the winner... May be more than one answer... I have my guess as well, but I am most likely wrong.. :read:

Don't do that!! You need clunk washers my friend. Search for "clunk" and you'll get the answer you need.
I would say my topic does not make sense, i'm a lttle dislexic now am I
Why not?? I'd bet they don't find anything. You need to buy "clunk washers"
Chris is right thats all it is all Lightnings have that issue
I had the same problem. Took it to the dealer = Clunk not fixed. Does this really effect anything or does it just sound bad and startles people when I back up?
Its just embarassing and not to hard to fix yourself
torque the shit out of the lower control arm bolts and save your money on the washers. I fortunatly have not had that problem on my truck yet **knocks on wood** but if I ever do, new control arms and a drop kit are going in.
I've only expirienced it a couple of times. Not enough for me to be concerned about.
Also put some grease on the wheel stops!! (on the lower control arm) That will also make that noise when turning lock to lock!! Mine doesnt make noise anymore!!!
Good Luck!!
Good Luck!!
Well got the final answer. Dealer saied steering stopw were rubbing the shit out of the control arms, used a little grease and did not change anything, but I GOT A WARANTEED INNER DOOR HANDLE BECAUSE IT WAS CHIPPING AND A NEW ARM REST OUT OF THE DEAL
