I've been having an issue with my front-end clunking and feeling "loose" every little bump i hit or even just driving on uneven pavement, the few times I've been able to drive on brand new pavement it does fine.
So far, I've replaced both front strut assemblies, brake bads, rotors/hub assemblies (they come as one unit) both inner and outer tie rods, both upper control arms/ball joints, both lower control arms/ball joints, one sway bar end link, the other one was in good shape so i just reinstalled it. I've bled my brakes and i have brand new tires all the way around but it's still there!
I took it to Firestone to have an alignment done and told them to check everything to make sure it was tight, granted i was the last customer of the day and they were still working on it after they closed. But either way everything feels tight, i jacked the truck back up to check for any play and both sides feel tight when checking side to side and top to bottom. I won't even drive on the highway anymore because it's so bad, this is my work truck and I'm a self-employed contractor so it's literally my livelihood, i depend on it to be able to provide for my family but lately I'm afraid of depending on it but i don't really have a choice so I've been taking back roads and driving slow. I'm going to try and take it back by Firestone during the day and see if i can get a different tech to check it out, i bought the "lifetime alignment".
