front end thump ??

[badgett]

I have a 98 4dr 4x4 explorer. One of my front wheels makes a thump when you hit a bump in the road. Seems to do it worse at low speeds. It's not really loud just annoying. Anyone know what this could be ?

Could be tie rods, ball joints, bearings, loose shocks, or the rack and pinion. The only way to know is to jack up the front end and start wiggling until you find it.
