Clunking Noise Found and fixed

[Smoky]

I had a clunking noise under the passenger side but had already replaced the sway bar end links as the problem last fall. Put the truck up on the jack stands to check spring bushing and other things. Thanks to Clintusaf in another thread he said he saw his exhaust pipe bumping the cross member of the tranny. Mine was the same way. Carried it to the muffler man and he welded a pipe hanger to the pipe and bolted to the right side frame in a horizontal position to keep the pipe away from the crossmember. He also tacked the pipe clamp in a couple of spots to keep the pipe from twisting and allowing the pipe bend to get against the crossmember. Problem fixed.

This is a FWIW.

May help someone, may not.

Thanks again Clint
