Steering clunk gone

OK, here's the scoop. After replacing the entire front end steering componentry on my truck and installing a Thuren trac bar and 2' leveling kit I got a minor clunk in the steering when I backed up or turned a slight corner at low speeds. We put a reversed angle pitman arm on the truck from a tough country lift kit, which got everything (tie rods and steering rod) back to a flatter angle and the clunking is gone. I was fearing a steering box or control arm rebuild at that point because we have replaced everything else. This was pretty cheap to fix at $80.00 US. Yeehaaw....for now. Kurt
