don't pay much attention to it anymore as it does not seem to affect
steering or tire wear. Your note just jogged my memory that I think it
went away for a while after I put my 3" body lift in. The slip joint on
the steering column had to be changed for the lift kit and the old one
was frozen to the shaft. One hell of a job to get it off (heat,
hammers, cursing). I'm going to check that slip joint again. Maybe
thats frozen again and causing the clunk through the shaft!
