I'm posting this here since the last thing I messed with was the front axles and carrier oil seals, so here it goes...

When braking, I can hear and feel a "thud" coming from beneath the truck; also when backing up and then going forward again. I also feel it when tilting the wheels all the way to either side. I had my wife perform all these maneuvers while I was trying to locate the source of this noise from outside of the truck but didn't succeed. I've already checked the radius arms for tightness and they look fine.

Any thoughts on what else to check will be greatly appreciated!!
 
Haven't been able to check it out yet.... was kinda busy with earthquakes and stuff :shok:.... I'll be checking it out tomorrow and will let you know. :icon_thumby:
 
Well finally got under the truck and as it turns out the driver's side radius arm to axle assy could've used more tightness. re-tightened the bolts and voila, no more weird sound.... Thanks for the suggestion!!!!
