knocking under front end

When I drive my ranger (not when accelerating or with my foot on the gas) but when cruising or slowing down, I get a knocking feeling under my feet and in the steering wheel. Now mind you this is not a severe knocking and most people haven't even noticed it until I point it out. Is this normal?

I had this happen on my 97 F-150, turned out without tension on the drivetrain, the slack in the splines of my diveline slipyoke would clunk. To fix, I pulled of the driveline, packed the slipyoke halfway w/ grease, and reinstalled. Not sure if you can do that w/ a ranger (might have a sealed slipyoke).

Welcome to FTE!!!

Make sure you mark the driveline so you put it back in exactly the same position.
