Yikes! Front end axle noises.

[fjman]

I'm getting a little binding noise in the frontend when I crank the wheels around corners. Is this a sign of bad times to come?????? I'm always had a little clunky noise in the front but never a moany krunky noise! It sounds like its binding like it would in 4WD on pavement......
Opinions?

Is this happening in 4WD or 2WD?

I used to get a similar noise when I was cranking the wheels around corners. In my case it was badly worn out front springs and bushings. New OME's fixed my noise

time for that lift, fjman.

I went out and looked at stuff yesterday and it may be the bushings. It looks like all of mine are shot and in some cases only half of the bushing is left.
Its making the noise in 2WD and only noticable at low or no speed.
Felix, the lift may happen very soon. Me and Ross were talking about his old springs from before the SO.

do it! Those were 2.5", right? I thought he had a couple broken leaves in those?
