FRONT END CLUNKING

Post by tineke »

When I move the steering wheel from side to side, there is a clunking feel and sound coming from the tires. Does anyone know what is could be? Struts,ball joints, stabilizer link?
Thanks.

If your driving on a smooth road and just shift the wheel very slight and hear the noise, WICKED bad tie rods. Inner, outter... If you hear the clunk over bumps, balls joints or stab links or bushings. Jack one front side up a time and grab the wheel. Move it gental left to right and up and down. Left right loose, tie rods. Up down, wheel bearing ( usually hear a growling or a jet taking off while driving tho). Also possible toasted ball joint with in and out movement. Need a better run down, just shout really loud.
