Whenever I make a sharp turn(either direction), my truck makes this loud clunk. The ball joints are good, all the tierod ends were replaced. I replaced the sway bar endlinks and bushing, the only problem with those whose I couldnt find any the exact same length end links, so they are a 1/2" shorter than the ones that were on it.

Another thing, ive had the truck for a year and a half and just recently it started squeeking. I spray the all the front springs down with wd-40 down and it goes away. Anyone have an insight on this?

Spring pads, little plastic (teflon actually IIRC) pads in between leafs.

Are there any between the leafs in middle of the spring itself like where the ubolts go in? I put new spring pads between the leaves at the front and back, but its still there.

Not sure, mine is twin I beam. I will look at my buddies truck tomorrow and let you know if no one else does.

Thanks, these two issues have been bothering me for a couple months now.

for the clunk I would check the track bar, The spring pads are only at the ends of the spring you can lift the truck by the frame and let suspension sag and install new ones.
hope this helps

Mine is making the same sound. On mine, it appears the spring bushings on the driver side are shot.

Im wondering if that is the clunking on mine. Another wierd thing about my truck is that once in a while, not all the time, but on the same piece of road, the steering wheel will start to shake. Im going to have to check some things out today.
