That`s what it was.It was the hood hinge on the driver side.It had play in it.I installed the conical washers.No clunking what so ever.

 

Clunkety clunkety clunk, that is the noise that was coming from my front end. Low speed, city streets. I could visualise a rod or bar or shock loose from its bushing clunking against something under there on every little road bump.

BUT I had recently been involved in a front-ender and the grill and likely the hood had been pushed back. huh, maybe I should try the hood washers everyone talks about here on this great forum. I did. They work!

Prop the hood up, remove the corner cowl (fake screw holding it on is really just a plastic fastener, remove center with needlenose pliers). Remove the horizontal bolt that goes through the fender and the hood brackets. Put the washer on the bolt, beveled side to bracket, and tighten it all back up. The problem is the hole in the fender bracket is too big so the beveled washer fills it and stops the hood from sliding back and forth.

I got the washers at the GM parts distributor in Houston, $5 a pack. Don't do what I did and get two, each pack contains two washers.

I thought the same thing with my front end clunking.Bought the washers, installed washers clunking went away.A member from Germany told me about the conical washers.

 

Front end clunk Noise in reverse wheel turned sharp right
If you search the web you might find a post as to what it is causing the clunk in most cases.
And another way to get lucky on the internet is check U Tube for answers.
Front end clunk noise 95 to 2003 blazers. Only in reverse backing up wheel cranked to the right usually
but it can start clunking all the time while driving and especially going over speed bumps angled not straight across the bump.

 

Oh my gosh. I've had my Blazer since 2000, noticed the extra clunk within a month or so from buying, had it looked at three different times with no results. They told me it came from having selected the Touring suspension option and was just resigned to living with it.

$10 with tax and 15 minutes or so to install and IT'S GONE! HALLELUJAH!

It still makes plenty of other noises but that clunk is gone and the truck is noticeably more pleasant to drive now.

I wound up going though a dealer since there's one nearby, but they're also available here:
Washer | Genuine GM | 12383460 : GM Parts Direct: Your direct source for Genuine GM Parts ($3/washer plus $13 shipping)

or eBay with cheaper shipping:

(or if that link has gone dead, just search eBay for the part# 12383460)

 

Turned out to be the upper ball joint I let Les Schwabb test and find for me. Then took it to parents garage and replaced all four upper and lower. And it works great no noise at all from the front end. Problem solved and fixed at about $150.00 used Raybestes ball joints due to there through testing and superiority. In keeping the grease on and around the ball and socket.https://blazerforum.com/forum/images...icon_hyper.gif
