whomp whomp whomp and a sticky caliper?
ok....heres the deal:
When I am driving, straight or turning, I hear a sound that is similiar to a whomp whomp whompp. It is more prominent while turning though. I cannot figure out what it could be. Ive read that bad CVs, make a clicking noise. I do have 210K on the original CVs. Would there be anyway it could be a tie rod? I have changed the front drivers side, but not passenger.
Also, I have noticed that when I brake, the truck pulls to the right. It has gotten worse in the past couple of days. When I brake hard, the caliper almost locks the wheel up, so when I come to a stop, the right tire skids. Is there any solution to this? Is something not lubricated? Do i just need a new caliper?
Sorry for the long post and thanks for your adivce.

Again, I could be wrong. It probably wouldn't hurt to push and pull on the top and bottom of each wheel just to check.

Primarily when cold it would make the same type of noise you are describing here; whomp, whomp, whomp...(increased with speed). I pulled the rotor off and CV out and found a fried wheel bearing.

probably not it but i got that same kinda noise in my 92 rodeo but only in reverse somehow (or maybe i didnt hear it going forward over the excessively loud whir of the fan) but it turned out to be a bent u-joint on the driveshaft

I am pretty sure its the caliper now. It only sticks when I press the brake and I can feel the car kinda dive to the right front.
Does anyone know if I need to buy 2 new calipers or can I just get the front right one? Does anyone have one for sale?
