17 f150 left front clunking noise when turning left
Hello. I tried searching and searching. Found a little info but no real resolution. I bought my 2017 f150 brand new. It's a screw, 4x4, sport pkg, 2.7. Now at 13k miles. Since around 3k miles, I get this intermittent left clunk noise when turning left and unloading the left side of the truck. It's far louder when turning left off a hill, but still does it mildly on most flat left turns. If I hit a good threshold pulling into a parking lot, it also makes all kinda noise.
I've had it to 3 local dealers, no one can find it. One dealer found my factory running board was loose, tightened it up and sent me packing. This is a 100% stock truck too. Before I head back and start a fight, does anyone have or had a similar issue? Any resolution? Really appreciate anyone's input. Dan |
Sounds like a tie rod issue.
I would try getting them to replace the inner and outers. It's not like they are that expensive. |
I have the same issue and it will get worse. Have a 2000 model and have replaced everything in the front except the ball joints for the steering. These are next, I would look into the same issue.

Just got my truck back after 2 days at the dealer. They were able to finally duplicate the noise after I explained how to do it. Ended up being a loose transmission mount. Banging noise is completely gone now and truck is quieter then ever.
In the entire 6 dealer trip visit search for this noise, they've now found a loose factory running board, loose a-arm bolts, and now a loose transmission mount. Wtf? I know one thing, I can't wait to trade this truck in. This has been the worst vehicle experience for me. Brand new truck with a host of issues and recalls. My 10 year old Silverado with 100k was such a superior truck in every way (besides the interior). Thx for those that gave ideas about the noise. I very much look forward to next summer when this thing gets traded. |
Interesting...
Are you sure they aren't bogus fixes? Sometimes tech put things down to "appear" busy. Anything these days will have a "host" of recalls and technical service bulletins. Trust me. Otherwise, your F150 sounds pretty healthy and reliable. |
Sounds like you got a truck that was one in 10,000. I have a 2000 model and just now having to replace front end items, etc. Wouldn't write off a whole brand for one truck.
