Another Strange noise

[Nosparkplugs]

I am new to this forum. My 99 f-250 started making a noise like two pieces of metal hitting (hard to describe) towards the front passenger side. It doesnt sound engine or tranny related. It is heard the most when i almost get stopped. It is not constant but i can hear it every once in a while. My first thought was a wheel bearing but it doesnt really squeak.
Thanks in advance

Are you getting a "thud" at all?

[Nosparkplugs]

Yea that might be a better description

My first thought would be ball joints, but only because I've experienced that. Do you have local tire store you trust to take a look at it and will they look at it for free to see if that is it?

yea my guess would have to be ball joints i agree with the previous post if you have a ( TRUSTWORTHY) tire shop that will look at it thats what i would do

Also check the shock mount and see if the AC dryer is hitting the top of the shock mount while driving. I have worn out body mounts and mine hits the bottom of the the AC dryer and I thought it was a bad shock bushing, it turned out to be that.

hmmmm well i am going to look at that i dont mean to hyjack the thread but i might have something like that happening

I don't think it is ball joints because the more i listen to it it seems to be coming from around the bed. Sometimes, it sounds like a gunshot. I do appreciate the replys. I am due for an alignment and will prabably replace them while i am at it anyway.
