I'm getting a loud clicking noise when in Reverse and turning. It's clearly coming from the suspension area on the front passenger side. Changed the sway bar end link for a cheap fix but no luck. Is it the CV Axle? or something else?

A most likely suspect would be your CV joint on your front axle. It usually makes a clicking noise while turning sharply, when they first start to fail. Often you can visually inspect them, and see a torn boot , or leaking grease, but you are most likely in need of a rebuilt axle installed. When I change them, I usually just replace both axles, and wheel bearings at the same time, since the car is apart.

SOURCE: Right front suspension loose / crashing noise

Would recommend having the front struts and strut mounts looked at, over time the struts and strut mounts wear out, causing the front supension to develop noise whe going over even the slightest of road deformities. Hope this helps

if its noisy, something is bad wrong. lift it up and have one your kidsturn the steering wheel and look for anything loose. I would not have purchased any car that had been hacked like that. ck ball joints, ck for any loose bolts, ck everything you can see. dont drive it intil you find and repair what is wrong. without knowing what is wrong, i would say it coulld be dangerous.

I have a 2000 durango 4.7. When i back up into my parking spot it gets a loud creak sound. It sounds like its coming from the passenger front side. What could it be?

It could possible be the front suspension bushings. They are rubber and dry out over time. Since you are changing direction and thus angle of the front suspension when backing up, this is a common time to hear the problem. There are lubricants you can use to relieve the noise, but the ideal solution is to replace the bushings.

Why is there a single clicking sound in the front wheel area ?

How many miles on car? Probably a suspension or steering part worn. Be easiest to have alignment shop check it out. First, might want to check for loose lug nuts, or jack that side of car slightly to remove weight from wheel, and shake wheel up down and side to side to see if you can find what is loose.

Loud banging noise when i go over a bump on passenger side front and a clicking when i pull into a parking spot or three point turn both left and right took it to dealership say they cant find anything

The clicking is the halfshafts or front wheel drive axles. I have a hard time believing that they have went bad already but anything is possible. The banging noise is something in the suspension, perhaps struts or a sway bar link.

My truck makes a loud thump from the front on the passenger side.

Most likely you have worn out suspension parts. A front shock could cause the problem because the rubber bushing holding it in place may have dried up and fell out. Upper and lower A-arms have rubber bushings as well.
Best to have the front suspension checked out before it gets worse.
