Gotta get her fixed, front end problems

[clintusaf]

Well guys,
Im in georgia now for some training and i need to get my truck fixed back home. I have something loose in the front end. I could feel and hear it when i go over bumps and what not at slower speeds. I also noticed that when i almost go full lock, i get a slow steady popping. My sway bar is removed and has been sometime. I'll be getting all the bushings replaced on that. The guy thats taking care of my truck has access to a press at his mechanic school. Im wondering if i have bad shock mounts? Ive been wanting a reason to put on some new bilsteins!!

Tie rod ends would be my guess. Or Ball Joints. Go for the Bilsteins. I have them and love them.

Ok. Ill have him check the tie rod ends. I hope its not the ball joints. They were replaced on it around 125k.

Know a good online resource for tie rod ends and the bilstiens?

Can u fill me in a little better JL? Im still learnin. Only front axle joint i know of is the u-joint. And that wouldnt cause my symptoms, especially if 4wd wasnt engaged.
