I just got done with a long trip to moses lake and I noticed a clunk near what sounds like the front diff. It only happens when im turning slowing wile im on the gas or im backing up wile turning. It sounds like something is siezing then realising. I did do a fair amount of driving in the dunes..

Check your u-joints for sure, how long has it been since you greased them. Also check you fluid level in your swivels.

I have had the truck for about 5k miles I have never serviced the U joints. I am thinking that mabe the try weather and sand plus the placement of them by the catsmight have dried them up.I know the shop I took it to get checked out added grease to the swivels. Do I need a grease gun to do the U joints?? my friend has one and do I need any type of special grease.

Borrow your friend grease gun and be careful to not over fill the u-joints. If you pop the grease seals there goes the u-joints.

If it wee the CV's, you would normally hear it more when making a sharp turn, do you hear anything when turning?
