Alex, Im having the same problem it just now started, never noticed it before. Just when a left turn is being made and there maybe some small bumps or ruts in the road. The sound is like a bad shock or something is bottoming out?

Still could be the ball joints. I had my left upper changed back in August and noticed it was loose again by October.

I just had the dealer recall performed on Friday. Truck feels a lot tighter and reminds me of how it drove when brand new. I just hope these post-recall, non-greasable replacements last.

It's called the chrysler thump.
It has to do with the swaybar bushing
you can try a teflon type lube on it but it will come back.
