Clunk when turning wheel...
Hey all.... lately I'm getting a "clunk" when low speed wheel turning. Can hear it and feel it especially when sitting still and turning wheel. Both directions. Got under and grabbed a hold of everything and all feels tight but haven't had a chance to get someone behind wheel to turn while I'm underneath to see if any play anywhere.
Anyone else experience this and results???? I have the newer heavy duty steering for the last 40k miles. Rebuilt my Thuren trac bar resently also. |
Sounds like Ball joints popping. Grabbing and pulling wont do anything with weight on wheels

BigDave,
I have all new joints, NorrisMquay extreme greaseables for about 10,000 miles when I installed my Dynatrac free spin setup. After doing more research I'm thinking it might be steering shaft related. |
I had a similar problem. Was the intermediate steering shaft. Replaced under warranty, no more clunk felt in through steering wheel.

you havent check them? Not unheard of that a ball joint fails in 10k even the pricey ones.
Not yet but I will... I agree with your statement but hope you're wrong [laugh] To much rain outside now for that gig... maybe tomorrow. I'll post back to report results... I believe both sides uppers and lowers were around $260... not cheap but nothing like the exotics.. :cool: |
Tighten your track bar on the driver's side. You just might amaze yourself.
I had this problem, especially when it was wet, and tightening cured the pop. |

I had this problem, especially when it was wet, and tightening cured the pop. My track bar seemed tight but I got under there with a 3 foot cheater bar on my 1/2" drive and got maybe a quarter turn. Super tight now. and guess what? NO MORE CLUNK.... [coffee] |
