Suspension noise

So every time I turn left going really slow I can hear a metal klang coming front my left front suspension. Any ideas?

most likely. you should jack the truck up and check your suspension components. could be the outer tierod also, but the only way for sure is to get underneath her.

What am I looking for when I jack up the car? Torn bushings?

torn rubber boots on the swaybar endlinks top and bottom. see if they move real easily. jack your x up and have someone turn the wheel and see if it clicks under no pressure. should be an easy fix once you locate the problem.

Could also be thrust rod bushings, or deflated Air Strut ?

They checked that. The car has been at the dealer for the last month and a half with the field engineer involved.
