thump thump thump

Driving a long today, been out for about a half hour doing errands and stuff. Everything is fine, I come home for 10 mins then have to go back out to the DMW. About a mile into the trip I here this "thump thump thump" noise, I keep on going to the DMW and it's there all the way. I pop the hood with the engine running, everything looks fine nothign loose causing a clunk. Get under the truck, shake everything a little nothign loose. Check tires, inflated no visible fractures or anything in it.

My neighbor and I put shocks in tuesday, and i've put about 60+ miles on the truck since then and no problems until now.

What do you ya'll think? I'm depressed thinking something is wrong with my baby!

Fixed it, I knew it was something in the front left. When we changed the shocks, left two of thoe screws on the tire somewhat loose and it was causing it.

Screws on the tire? I hope your not talking about the lug nuts holding the tire on.....thats extremely dangerous, the wheel could fall off, those need to be tightened to 100ft-lbs with a torque wrench. Must be in a start pattern, not circular so that the pressure is applied evenly.


Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

Then theres:
99' Mustang GT 4.6L
88' F-250 Heavyduty 4x4 351/c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 with a
3 spd column shifter. Weighs around 7,000lbs w. 65mph top speed, who wants to race me!
