Message:
I have a 99 sport cc 3.9 2x2. When coming to a stop no noise until my truck comes to a dead stop. Then there is a clunking noise from the front end. Just looking for idea on what i should start looking for. Also pulls a little to the right don't know if it has anything to do with the problem

Look at the brake assy, ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm( can't remember waht year went to rack-and-pinion) control arm bushings - upper & lower...look at these on BOTH sides of your rig. Any of these being worn can cause it to pull, just as any of thes can make a 'clunk' if there is enough play. Some require the rig to be jacked up by the control arm (upper/ lower ball joints) while others 'may' be checked with it on the ground (tie rod ends). Sometimes it's easier if it is on a lift where you can get in there and pry a little with a pry-bar (idler arm/ pitman arm). Good luck.

I'd lean toward the upper control arm. More than likely, passenger side since it is closer to the exhaust manifold than the driver side. Ask me how i know that.
