Front End Trouble

Hey everyone..i drive a 2000 f250 SD 7.3L turbo diesel and recently i noticed some vibration on the floor and a thud noise coming from beneath my feet when slowing down and applying brakes.. i have 200k on her so i expect to be replacing things...it happens only at low speeds (0-15mph) when im braking or when i turn the steering wheel to the left or right. could it be a pitman or tie rod? Something to do with the steering system?Any insight would be a great deal of help. Thanks!

Probably the front sway bar link bushings. Common failure, eventually, on these.

Replace with polyurethane ones and never do them again!

This is the thread I used on the forum to replace mine, it took care of the thumping under foot for sure and it was super easy fix, nice pictures included.
