HOLY RUN-ON SENTENCE, BATMAN!!!!! Punctuation marks are our friends! Try it sometime!

Have you replaced the front shock absorbers? I got thumps and thuds before and replaced them with new Ranchos,....problem solved.

Why did you have to replace the rack?

jeepers robin!!! Found out the problem it turned out it was the wheel bearing. I was a bit confused because there was no vibration at all. Oh i had to changed the rack because it was slowly leaking fluid into the tir rod boot on the pasenger side. Hope that was a little better for you not the best with the whole Punctuation thing. P.S. thanks for the help.
