the shaft dont touch the floor tho. i changed that pos too thinking it was the my knock, no dice.

jack the whole front up, lock the wheel, and push and pull one side, how much does the wheel move now?

my wheels would move a good 1/2 inch before the steering wheel moved. you know how it will move a little bit when locked.

unless its a bad ball joint, about the only other thing i can thing that will move and knock and then transfer to the cars body.
