While returning the wheels to straight after a hard left, there is this binding thump coming from the linkage. I can feel it through the steering wheel, but can't see any physical damage to the linkage. The thump only comes just as the wheels return to straight-on, but not after every left turn. It never thumps to the right. Anyone...? Anyone...? Bueller...Bueller?

Have a friend turn the wheel back and forth while you are under your truck looking at everything.   Joey (Joey4420) Senior Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 568 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Wednesday, February 18, 2004 - 03:44 pm:    I would also check your panhard rod....easy check would be to learn against the driver side of the Disco right above the front tire....see or I should say feel if you notice the cluck...if so panhard rod. It will either need a new bushing or need adjusted.   Big Ed (Sandman) New Member Username: Sandman Post Number: 23 Registered: 02-2004 Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2004 - 08:10 am:    Would either of these cause the thump only after a turn to the left? It never does it after a right turn? I checked while the front end was airborn, but then it never thumps. Different angles...weight loads...? I need those alignment dishes they place under the front tires to make them swivel real easy. SandMan
