Message: I have a 98 RC, i searched for a day reading posts about thumps but the majority of it is for turning. My truck does not do it when you turn, only when you take off and brake. I can feel it in the steering wheel and the brake pedel. I jacked it up and no balljoints are loose, everything down there is tight. Could it be shocks? i noticed mt tranny mount looks shot, i'm going to replace it but i doubt i would feel that in the steering wheel. I also have a bad froont wheel bearing that i'm replacing tuesday. could it be that. The bearing hummmmms at high speeds around turns and when you shake the tire you hear a click click. I took the tire off and i can move the rotor. COuld this be whats causing the takeoff and brake thump? or am i not looking far enough?
Thanks

Message: Could be a loose alignment bolt or nut. I had that happen to me and it was the upper bracket that was not tightened and it would make this noise when braking then accelerating.
I had to have someone walk along side to hear it then they noticed it.
Never late for a Tee time or wheelin with my buddies! Always ready for both!!!
Message: alright - repalace the front brakes - make sure the slide pins are lubed - sounds like they are hanging up and not releasing - also check out he rubber on the front brakes
also normally shows un even pad wear when not lubed
