HELP!! Front Thunk noise making U-turn

[lil_ta]

Hey guys,
I have a 94 Camry XLE 4 cyl. with 200K, It just started to make a thump noise in the front and I can feel my front-end sway from left to right while making a sharp turn of U turn..ehh and vice versa.. I dont know what it could be, but I know my alignment is just a bit off thats about it, and it sometimes pulls alitte too which kinda scares me when im going about 40++

Have you done anything recently that set this off?

Do you happen to have a power steering leak? Probably, and if you do it is leaking onto your right lower control arm. This will deteriorate the bushings and cause alignment and clunking problems. Also check your lower balljoints.

found the problem, some how one of my axes have a split joint boot on it and all the grease evaporated?? ahh is it hard to change the passenger cv joint, its the long one?? And how to do it??

[ArmyofOne]

IMO, its worth it to pay somebody and be done with it, depending on the gen of your cam and the engine. they should all be about the same though...

I got the guys at the tire kingdom to change my axles but one on the left wouldnt go in all the way they think?? and now when I drive it tends to shudder clucking or what ever it might be during turns??

[lil_ta]

OR could it be the rear engine mount, too??

Sounds like a cv joint, they are easy to replace, you could probably change one in about 30 mins its only when you turn correct?
