Well I thought I was the first person to have this. I have a 98 cc 5.2L and
sure enough when driving and then turning and applying the brakes there is
a clunk coming from the front end. Not a big clunk but none the less a
noticeable clunk. I thought it was the shocks , but its not, thought it was
the joints needed grease but that didn't cure it either. I am at a loss as
well. I was thinking it was the ball-joints. but I haven't gone in to
check it yet. How does one lubricate the "steering stops". Who knows maybe
that will help me. Any info would be greatly appreciated at this end as
well .
