 Subject: pop/clunk??
IP: Logged
Message:
I have an 04 Quad with about 500 miles on it (See new owner post below) and at slow speeds .. I hear a sound, call it a pop or clunk - it happens straight or turning over small bumps. It only comes from the front left. I am thinking something needs to be greased. Being an 04 I do not think it has the upper ball joint issues of the past since I've read they are using a different supplier. Any ideas/suggestions?

Mine popped at low speeds in tight turns. Turns out they needed to lube the steering bump stops. They did that 6 months ago and it hasn't happened since.

I dunno, when that happened to my 02 quadcab it was the upper balljoints and control arms.

That was actually my first thought but thankfully in my case that wasn't what it was. I still think it's a bit early to tell if the newer 04 ball joints will decrease the failure rate. Not to say that they must have fixed the problem, but I dont think we'll really see enough of a pattern to know for sure until the middle or end of 2005.
