Listening device

[bat]

I have had this clunk in the front of my truck for awhile and I just can't take it any longer. I have new Ome stuff up front,checked all the ball joints control arms,body mounts every nut and bolt, skid plate and so on. I was wondering if anybody has used some of the auto listening devices for finding rattles and such for a car. I see they have stethoscopes to find engine noise and some expensive remote stuff, looking for a single type remote sensor to set in different places on the truck to track it down.

Exactly WHEN, and under which conditions(bump, hard steering, acceleration, deceleration, hard braking, etc.)? I'm assuming you meant OEM, not Ome ;-)

Ome nitro charger shocks and 887 coils, mostly when turning right over small bumps

Can you tell if the sound comes "more" from the right or left? Also, if your truck is 4WD(not mentioned), check the CV joints;you didn't mention checking them, they don't always make noise while running straight, but will when turning or "flexing"more than normal.

Sounds like a good excuse to get a Gopro camera. If you have an Apple or Android device you can use them as a remote viewing screen.

Perhaps a rearview camera with audio or wireless spy camera with audio...I bought a cheap spy camera to mount to an RC car to check my crawlspace for raccoons a few years ago.

Here are some links to the products I am thinking of...I have no firsthand experience with either one.
