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.

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.
