With the way it sounds and feels when going over some bumps not all, I'd be suprised if it were the steering unit. I did detect some sideways play in the axle on that side where it comes out of the tranny, not just in & out play like a splined shaft, sideways play like an axle bearing? If that's what it is it would make more sense with the way it sounds and feels.
Should there be any detectable sideways play in the axle where it attaches to the tranny?
Thanks for the responses!!!
