hey guys,
79 f250 2wd.
when i turn right only, i can feel like a bump, bump, bump feeling right at my feet.
any clues what would be causing this?
wheel alignment issues maybe?

 

Do you have "larger than stock" tires hitting the tie rod or wheel well liner?

Jump underneath, have a helper turn the wheel, and inspect the steering gear, pitman arm, radius arms (and bushings) and tie rods.

Check the shocks, too

 

ya stock tires and wheels.
should i get the tires off the ground to do that?
thanks

 

i should ask discribe it better. it isn't happening at a certain point of the wheel being turned. the more i turn the more i feel it. it's a harder bump when i'm turning a hard corner.

 

It'd be easier with the tires off the ground, but make sure to properly support the vehicle. Jacks are for lifting-not holding-definitely don't get under a vehicle supported by only a jack!

Anyway, look around to make sure everything is clearing and nothing is binding.

Could be the steering gear too, I guess. I've heard they can develop problems in left turns and not right turns. Or vice-versa.

 

I'd also look at the tires
A broken belt or flat spot might not show up until the wheel tilts over in a turn.

I had this problem three years ago. It went away after I rebuild my gear box but didn't see anything wrong internally.
