no one.. after 20 years of chronic illness I am a good hermit ! lol. gosh my memory is SOO bad.. that was a just monday .. I believe that noise (video ) was to show the sound of the power steering pump when the wheels are being turned. the steering issue only happens on turns. and...

a stick will not work with moving parts!!! good one! lol!

Ok ! got it.. here is the youtube link. can anyone hear the "thud thud" from the right wheel? thanks! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YBL-0rv8bxA

Lets see if I can find a place to upload it !..thank you!

I am back again! here's what I found out. I had someone turn the wheel and I listened. the pump is LOUD!~ also I felt for vibrations in the wheels.. which were there (not sure what that is about) I did notice on the right wheel as it was moving there was a "thump thump thump" sound. I...

This is very helpful! Hopefully I will be able to check it out in the next couple days! I dont have AC so that might make it easier to ID the pump :) thanks for the support!

I like this idea !! I dont know what I would be looking for? Is that belt supposed to turn when the wheel turns? This sounds like a good learning opportunity! thanks Josh B !

Thanks again for your support and encouragement. Looks like it's time to plan on spending some big bucks!

Question: is there any easy basic way I might be able to separate out if it is a ball joint , tie-rod or power steering pump ? it seemed to be more of an issue going to the left side than the right, ( I might be wrong about that ) I was really nervous to drive it much. it was fine...

I will be careful. Maybe I will have it towed in . Better safe than sorry. Or I drive surface streets slowly. I dont know a weekend mechanic.. but wondering if I can do it myself.

Hopefully I was able to get those sway bar ends on tight enough..they didnt' really squish down alot .. they did a little. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ the Shudder is still in the steering with turning the wheel It didn't resolve the steering issue. It is better however what I thought was ball joints I am...

I got everything all tightened up! I used a breaker bar on the stability bar bushings and that bar is NOT moving . crunched down on the sway bar end bushings..(it did feel like forever ) and I used the breaker bar on those too. I gave it a few drives around the block.. 1. The clunk is...

Thats great a ceiling fan extension!! perfect fit! I have a pipe from a workout bench that fits. it works in a pinch! How do I measure the torque when tightening those stabilizer bar bushings? I am looking forward to finishing up today! thanks everyone!

I was able to squeeze under the truck..actually there was plenty of room even parked on the street. Had medical appts today so I haven't yet had a chance to tighten everything down. I am still going to take it n to have an inspection on the suspension and steering. Good thing i replaced...

oh! I did put the new bushings on. when tightening the bracket around bushings how much up and down movement should there be on the stabilizer bar? thanks!
