I have a '64 F100 SWB with a 223 and occasionally I hear a "clunk" when steering. It usually happens at barely moving to low speeds. I've checked the steering box and it's well lubricated. Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Thanks in advance, this sight has been an immense help to me!

 

R/L tie rods ends that thread into the spindle connecting rod and/or the draglink are most likely causing the problem.

These parts have non replaceable ball joints. When the steering wheel is turned, these worn out parts will cause a clunk.

I would check front spring eye bushings. There is 2 per side. upper and lower in front.

 

Two great leads. I'll take a look at both of these, thanks!
