I rode in my son's 2006 Silverado ext. 1500 this weekend and noticed a 'thump' when he turned either right or left coming from the front passenger wheel. It was also pulling a bit to the right. He jerked the wheel hard 2 or 3 times to the left and the pulling to the right stopped. He has 22's with brand new 305/40's. Could this be a ball joint or bushing issue? I will not be able to take off the wheel and inspect for a couple of weeks. I know it is not the steering shaft noise.

 

mine does the thump on the driver side when i have to turn hard to the right and goin about 10mph but mine started after i changed my brake pads.

 

steering shaft maybe, my truck has the bump also

 

The Hub itself. I had mine go bad twice already. What a pain in the a%$
