Another clunk question

I get a clunk when turning around a constant turn like a traffic circle but not normal turns. It feels like its under the front of my seat by my feet.

Another thing is I get a type of wheel hop at around 70mph on some freeways but my shocks are new.


any ideas on either

Thanks in advance

Check upper and lower ball joints yet? Lift the front and grab the bottom of the tire and pull, push on the top and vis versa if the tire moves...then them needs replaced.

Yeah definately check for the ball joints I just had to replace both the upper and lower on the drivers side and passenger side...just turned 100,000 miles on a 99 F-250 Super duty 4-wheel drive. But now my lockouts turn really hard and I locked it in the other day and it was making some weird noises...are lockouts hard to changeout? Would that be what it is?

A friends had the same symptoms on his 2000 f250. It ended up being the wheel bearing assembly. It was shot and was binding the hub.
