Clunking sound when turning

So da' udder day I noticed that I have a fairly serious clunk under my feet when I turn right. So I get out and check the usual suspects and nothing. I keep driving(and I was a loooong way from home) and it keeps happening. I finally pulled into an empty parking lot and drove in circles until I realized........ That the door is coming a bit loose. As a product of this the pin switch for my kodiak steps is not connecting solidly and when I turned right it was going down and back up. Well, I felt pretty silly getting worried about the suspension. I just took Yeti's girlfriend for a ride, you see, and I was a bit worried that I had done irrepairable damage

Big difference from doing Abendx and all those other closet monkeys you guys keep around....

Glad to see you could finally get a female in your truck

Would those magnet type switches be any better?

Mine work perfect especially with my caved in pass door!!

I thin tyhe plungers work fine. This door is the first one I did and I left too much clearance. I just screwd it out a bit and added some loctite. By the way Yeti, do you have to use a forklift to get her in some other industrial lifting equipment? It took four of us on a pallet jack 30 minutes to slide her in to the bed. Maybe I need a Tommy gate if you are going to have me chauffering her around. When are you coming out?!?!?

We just slide a I beam across the lift and have her squat down on it, when lifted, she just kinds rolls on in...

Be there the 29th, you guys still have to give me a day.
