Clanking noise when I turn right...what now???
Clanking noise when I turn right but seems to go away when I turn left. Doesn't happen at slow speeds. I can't tell if it is the front or the rear Would this be a bearing or could it be ? something in drive ? IT continues to occur when I throw it in nuetral while turning. I am about to order a bunch of parts and would like to have this problem taken care of while I do all my suspension work.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Ball joints looked ok
If the ball joints were bad wouldn't the rubber on the outside be cracked? Or could they be messed up even if the rubber seal looks ok?

Have to weld because bracket cracked
The mounts themselves look ok. There is a bracket that is bolted to the engine and this is what actually is bolted to the engine mount. It is that bracket thaqt cracked somehow.
