Tire Kick?

[strokin99]

Ok got a question. I have a 99 f250 cc that has started making this weird noise when turning. I live in a cul-de-sac and when I am turning around it, it sounds like the tires are kicking or knocking from side to side. I am not to sure as to what it is. Been leaning towards sway bar bushings being bad or something is up with the steering gear. Anybody have any insight as to what I am talking about? Oh and to add to this: new ball joints and it only makes the noise when I cut the wheel sharp. I can turn without making this noise when I am on the road it is only when the wheel is cut pretty sharp.

is it 4x4 and have you used it lately? could be a hub sticking.. Mine does it occasionally after en/disengaging 4x4 with the auto hubs

[strokin99]

Yes it is a 4x4 but I haven't used it in awhile. Will have to check that out too. I was thinking sway bar bushings because when I was under the truck the other day, they looked pretty tore up and I figured that is where the noise might be coming from.

Sway bar and end link bushings are possible. check your hubs out too

how do you know if it is the hubs sticking? i just whent wheelin and all of a sudden my truck is nocking when i turn the wheel all the way to either side...

I would try just putting the truck in the air and turning the front wheels to see if everything up there is turning or not. That is why i dont leave my hubs locked,it feels awful in the front end when you turn sharp vs being unlocked.
