2011 Silverado clunk from driver side front end??

[Knowklew]

Just drove to lunch and back and noticed that on left turns (could be both) I get a slight clunk from what sounds like the suspension. Truck drives fine, no obvious visual indications of anything wrong. Truck has 33000 miles on it.

 

Anyone else get anything like this?

 

Truck has been flawless so far.

If the truck has after-market nerf bars I am betting that is the clunk. I had a similar experience once on a 2008 Silverado. The mount hits the frame to cab bucket and clunks.

I think my shock was frozen this morning. I thawed it out in the garage and it seems to have gone away

There is a known TSB for a clunking noise in the front end during cold weather operations. The TSB states the fix is to basically ream out the absober bumb stop in the front strut assemblies. Mine does the same when making a 90 degree turn into a driveway with a significant grade change, something I have come to deal with.

Well this morning is was -4F and it did it again, but only like demech mentioned. I was turning right into a driveway that sloped upwards. It only seems to do it on cold days like this. Once it warms up, it goes away. I have my truck sitting in my garage at work right now to warm up.
