Can anyone help me with this problem with my 2000 GMC Jimmy 4x4.
I have been reading all these posts and all seem to have similar symptoms to my problem. This car has drained the life out of me. I am just looking to make it on a trip home feeling safe!
I have this clunking noise, most commonly backing out of the driveway. I just had the Idler and Pitman arms replaced and the front wheel bearings. Those didn't help the problem.
Also when I have the foot on the break or the car is in park, turning the wheel either way, completely, becomes a workout. It feels like something is impeding the range I can turn the wheel only at a stand still.
Anyone have any ideas? Clunk as is bad going over bumps, train tracks, whatever.

As far as the noise goes, I could guess a list of things, what you need to know is what the problem is and that means someone with experience is going to have to first hear the noise while driving the car and then inspect the front end to even have a chance to know what is going on. You could easily have worn sway bar links and bushings. Worn control arm bushings, ball joints, caliper slide bushings. For that matter maybe the noise doesn't have anything to do with the front suspension. Without actually checking this nobody would really know.
