YES! Havn't figured out why yet. I've had it in three times and the dealership
found nothing wrong. I suspect loose rack mounting, sway bar moving, springs
moving in the towers, etc ... Its a heavy clunk felt/heard through the floor
when making primarily left turns over bumpy roads. The truck has also eaten two
intermediate shafts in the steering column. It is driving me frigg'n nuts!
Truck is a 97RC 5speed.
