I just got an identical, 4 inch suspension lifted 1988 4runner, 5spd, given too me. I was tipped onto its side so the owner didnt want it even though everything works awsome. Anyways it has a clunk on the passenger side when you turn the wheel either way or hit any small bumps, id like to fix it up so i can sell it after i swap some parts off of my runner. Could it be a ball joint?or bent tie rod or ? any help would absolutely awsome so i can use the money from it to mod my runner. It does pull to the passenger side if i let it free wheel but everything is tight and looks good?

 

Things to check:

-Wheel bearings
-Ball joints
-Steering stops (just to make sure)
-Steering componants
-Loose mounting bolts

 

Control arm bushing perhaps. My drivers side makes a little clunk over big bumps.

 

It tipped onto the passenger side there and i think almost all the weight was on that tire cuz their is little to no damage to the rear quarter panel but the front clip is pretty mashed on that side. My 88 is sased and soon to be 5.29s but i might throw that standard tranny in it and put my auto in this donor then sell it
