Steering Problem

This recently just started to happen. When I make a left turn. I can fill a slack or sounded like a loose bolt on the driver side tire when I turn to the left. I am thinking bearing or cv boot? Any thought it may be? THAnks a bunch...

Check your steering linkage, pitman arm, etc. Have it up on stands so you can get all of the tension off and really check for slack.

Thanks thook. I see if that may be the cause. It ussually happen when I get it some accelerate while turning left. It felt like it jump over or sliding sound that is when I can fill the slack for a second.

Righto. Last time I had symptoms like that, I had a bad steering idler arm. Of course, the vehicle also tended to pull to the right a bit when driving straight. Anyway, that's why I suggested looking at the pitman and linkage.....since your symptom seems associated on the left side.
