I was just about to post about a similar problem in my '91 GMC
Sonama 4x4 pickup. The noise seems to be coming from the right
front on LEFT turns with a bump. I didn't notice this noise
before I had a supsension specialist replace the ball joints,
the right CV boot, and idler arm at about 90,000 miles.

I can't find the problem, the mechanic can't find the problem
and swears that there's nothing he could have done to cause it.

It's also got new tires, new shocks, a recent alignment and
lube.

Can anybody help?
