my front driver's side wheel will hop or skip when i crank the wheels all the way to the right when turning into a parking spot. it does not do it when i turn left. what causes this?

 

Is the front alignment OK? My first thought was a bad shock but that's just a guess. Also, it's possible that the driver's side brake is sticking for some reason.

 

the alignment seems good. i have really needed an alignment with my truck. kind of strange since i've owed it for over 8 years.

i wonder if the brake is sticking. i will check. we do get alot of debris on the roads here in the winter time

 

Does it pop or clunk? Could be bad ball joints as well....

 

can't remember if i heard any noises or not. i will have to check it again. i know, dumb me for not paying attention to my vehicle. it seems to have so many noises coming from all sorts of different problems i almost feel like trading it in for a GMC

 

had a similar problem with mine, had to replace the ball joints and the wheel bearing. shocks were toast too as a matter of fact... but the expensive unit was the wheel bearing primarily 'cause my trucks a 3/4 ton.

if you lift your front end off the ground see if you can get any movement outta the wheel (in/out obviously)

 

i'll try that, thanks. 1st i need to get my jack back from my buddy.

or, maybe it is time to trade in the truck with all the stuff that is wrong with it now.

 

i do remember hitting a HUGE pothole about a month ago with my front drivers side tire. would that of caused the problem?

the day after i hit the pothole, there was a guy on the news that night on the side of the road with a blownout tire in the same exact spot i was. i bet he hit the same pothole.

 

Look as soon as possable. You dont want to be driving and have a ball joint break on you.

 

i will check it soon, thanks.

now i am thinking that it might be my front brake is stuck. it made like a sqeaky sound when i pulled out of my parking space this afternoon.

the wheel has not hopped in a few days.
