To begin, all my steering components are stock except the track bar.
I have an intermittent pop/thud you can feel when driving slow or just turning the wheel back and forth while parked with it running. I won't have a 2nd pair of eyes to help me until Saturday, but wanted to field any likely culprits. Keep in mind, it doesn't do it EVERY time, when I got it in the garage, it didn't do it, but tonight at the gas station and when I got to my drive way, I could do it as much as I wanted sitting in the drive way.
Everything FEELS solid and tight. No loose bolts that I can see or feel. This is my 2nd track bar. My first, the heim joint came out of the track bar, as if it just came out of the threads, but this was a gradual process. NOT FUN! However everything is tight on that.
My steering box DOES leak and has leaked for like 2 years. N00b question, but could something inside the steering box be just failing? The leak is very slow, but my pitman arm is wet.
Thanks for reading. I'm looking to upgrade my steering, but I can't very soon.
