    I have a short but relatively steep incline to enter my home garage where a park my truck. I recently have noticed a "clunk" sound that appears to be coming from the front wheel(s) that only is appreciated with the wheels turned completely while on the incline. It is a solid, single clunk, noticed in forward or reverse (backing in) and only happens when the wheels are turned completely and on the apex of the incline. It drives fine otherwise and have never had any other issues. 35x12.50x20 toyo open country MTs, fuel maverick rims, 4" Pro Comp Lift

    thanks for any input

    In my opinion is the most likely culprit

    so because it drives/steers fine otherwise without any issues , you say just let it roll ?

    Yes 4WD. But not in 4WD when hearing the clink. Today I jacked up the front wheel and tried to check the ball joint for loosening and did not have any play and visual inspection looks good. Guess I’ll need a second person to watch the wheel closely one day when I’m parking to see if anything is noticed

    A few... Definitely more than 2
    I had this happening on my truck. One thing to check is the skid plate. On a full turn under just the right suspension movement, the passenger tire was grabbing the "wing" of the skid plate and it would make a clunk sound and I found it was rubbing through the red powder coat on the tow hooks that came with my bumper. With 35s, depending on your offset I would think this is very possible. It is a fairly common and easy mod that people do to remove these "wings". Hard part is confirming if this is the problem.
