For the last few hundred miles, I've noticed a distinct metallic "clunk" sound from the front passenger wheel well anytime I go over a pothole or bump. The last week, it became noticeable even on highway expansion gaps - sort of a knocking sound. I booked an appointment with my mechanic but wasn't able to get in until next Wednesday. Truck has had all four shocks replaced with Motorcraft ones in the last year, and both upper ball joints replaced this spring as well no red flags the last time I had the truck aligned, but this just felt like something up there was not really fully attached anymore, and I'd rather play it safe.
Tonight, I was driving around town and I'm not sure exactly when, but something changed - the sound went from being something I heard only when going over bumps to this loud "THUMP" whenever I touch the brake pedal, followed by a rhythmic, rotational grinding noise. Now I'm thinking this has got to be brake related, but I don't have my jack and tools here at the moment, so I can't take the wheel off and try to see what's going on. What do you guys think is going on here?
PS, uploading video to YouTube, will post once finished.
