The other day when leaving a restaurant after diner, I was backing out of the stall and heard a loud clunk coming from the rear passenger side and it almost felt like I hit something, I stopped looked around the truck and sure enough nothing was there, I looked under the truck to see if anything looked a pit of place but sure enough everything looked okay aside from my tired leaf springs. Then again I heard/felt the clunk while backing out of a stall at the mall. I drove over to the empty portion of the parking lot to see if I could replicate it on video and sure enough I got it, any ideas what it could be? Drums sticking or grabbing when they shouldn’t be? I checked the diff fluid and it’s a little dirty so I think I might change it out today so we’ll see if that does anything

 

After digging a little deeper and driving In a few more circles I noticed the clunking might be coming from the front, so I took a peak at the front end and low and behold the outter tierod looks like it’s seen better days, would a bad tie rod cause bad clunking while turning at slow speeds? I realize this Hopefully isn’t a drive train problem so shouldn’t be in this thread but oh well

 

The boot does look like it's torn, but you need two people to check tie rod ends.
Start the truck and have someone turn the wheel back and forth while you watch the tie rod ends.
You will easily see any free play in them if there is any.
You can also grab them with your bare hands and check for excessive play.
Move it up and down as well, not just side to side.

Don't turn the wheel with out the truck running, when this is done on my truck, power steering fluid goes everywhere.

Could also be upper and/or lower ball joints as well as the inner control arm mounts, but if it tracks properly start with the tie rod ends.
Worn ball joints and worn control arm joints also cause uneven tire wear issues, so check for that.

Worn shocks and their mounts can cause "clunk" sounds when steering.

 

Figured Id update this, I changed my oil in the rear diff and the clunking seemed to to go away, so im gunna say thats a win!
