Hey folks,
I know I don't post much. Not much going wrong. Till now . We just decided to sell the third vehicle and make my 88 fj62 a full time driver.
The problem: A thunk -- or low thud noise coming from under the vehicle. Kinda sounds like a rubber mallet slowly hitting the frame??? It seem to happen only occasionally.. After I back up driveway near the peak as I turn onto the srteet. Next After I srtaighten out and drive 20 ft another lower thud. Also if I take a long sweeping left turn at a lower speed(pulling out of street). Some time when I hit a pot hole. I can't seem to do it all the time. But it does it every time mentioned above.
I recently had heavey duty shackles installed w/bushings.
I know pass front shock is toast.
front pass birf a little gooey
lubed some fitiings in the front and the front axle.
What does a birf sound like when its going?? It doesn't feel kile it's in the steering.
Could my suspension be binding up? I checked all the lock nuts except the top 2 at the rear.
Bad shock make a thud?
Any thoughts??
thanks
