Odd thump
I have an 89 Bronco II that I bought a few months ago. Love the car but it makes a strange thump sound. In 2wd it will sometimes make a thump sound when I am comming to a stop. But when its in 4wd low I can make it thump simply by tapping the gas. When I hit the gas it thumps once and when I let off it thumps once. The thump seems to be comming from the front left side of the car. I have taken the car to two different mechanics one said radius arm bushings and the other said it could be the auto locking hubs. So now I have new radius arm bushings and Warn manual hubs. Yet the thump continues. Anyone have any ideas????

i have learned my lesson .anytime you hear or see anything strange first thing jack the wheels up and give em a good shake......if you have read any of my recent post about wiggles and glinks.... jacking it up and checking my save you truck and your health.....
i have found a improper installed rear axel pin that made a thud when it wiggled ( the thud was the axel trying to fly off) and a front bearing that had been chewed up ( the other thud was the left front hub trying to fly off)
....jack er up give her a good shake and let us know what ya find.
anyone know anything about these front bearings??????

So I did the check for the ball joints and felt nothing but the car moving. If the ball joints were bad what should I have noticed? Is there an easy way to check the ujoints and what should I be looking for with those?
