You might try adjusting the preload on the steering rack,as this was
causing a clunk in my front end when I would first back out of the
driveway. Tightening up this steering rack preload also reduces the
tendency for the vehicle to jump left or right when driving over road
ruts/grooves.  

There is a 10mm bolt that should be turned clockwise in 1/8 turn
increments. More details and a photo of the adjustment bolt can be found
on my web page. Go to
