 Subject: Thumping in front end

Message:
When I'm making a turn going up a slight upgrade
ex:driveway. I'm hearing and feeling thumping
somewhere in the front end. I can feel it through the driver side floor board.
Dealer checked it out said could not find anything wrong.
Any suggestions
THANKS

I have something similar. You didn't say which truck you have. There is a TSB on this for 99-2000 4x4's, the tranny crossmember and torsion bar mounts need to be replaced. If you are under warranty, the dealer will cover it. I don't have the TSB #, I'm trying to get a print of it from AllData from a friend. If you aren't under warranty, it sucks, my dealer wanted almost $800 for the fix. The parts are about $200, so I'm probably going to do it myself.
This may be what you are feeling.

I dont know if you are having the same problem as me. I was having more of a crunching sound and the dealer replaced my front sway bar bushings and that solved the problem. I have a 2001 quab 4X4

DakDave,
Thats the one I was telling you about. How much are they charging you for the repair, or are you still under warranty?
