The truck was making a cluck during left turns from the drivers front tire, I took it to sears for inspection and they could not find any problems but did say that the ball joints (all four) were going bad and needed replacement soon. I took it to the dealer where purchased for another inspection and they said the sound was due to the ball joints (cost to replace=$700). I had the ball joints replaced...the truck still makes the sound and in addition, now makes the cluck when turning right in addition to left. At the same time, I had the mechanics inspect the drive train due to a grinding sound that is getting worse and changes with speed. They determined that the rear differential is bad and will need to be rebuilt/replaced in the very near future (at a cost of about $1000).
