Clunk is still present, but doesn't do it every time I back up. It is intermittent. It happens when I back up while turning left, but the clunk is not there every single time.
Truck is a manual transmission so I don't have my foot on the brake when backing up. The clunk noise happens as soon as I have turned the wheel to make the truck begin its turn to the left. Does not happen when going straight back and does not happen at all when going forward.
I have none of the whine or vibration symptoms of a bad u-joint. The noise does not happen as soon as I put it in gear, as a bad u-joint would either. Steering is nice and tight, there is no slop, looseness or wandering/drifting or vibration in the steering. But the noise is definitely coming from the front of the truck.
I am stumped. I guess at 130,000 miles there are bound to be some noises or other minor problems but I don't know what is causing this one.
Any further suggestions or info are appreciated. Thanks for the help.
