The front end of my Land Cruiser thumps when I am turning to the right.....the noise goes away when I am steering left or going straight forward. It seems like any time I turn the wheel in the passengers-side direction, the thumping comes from the front wheel area. Any ideas?

Hi there,

You will have to get all the suspension bushes and steering components checked for wear, this should be done by a qualified mechanic as they will be trained to spot defects that you may miss.
