Thumping in the front - suspension?

[sn8kman]

Ok, here's the deal - I'm getting a thumping in the front driver's side ONLY when I take a sharp turn or the driver side wheel goes over a bump but the passenger does not.

I recently got the warrior war-153 shackles because I was having an odd sagging issue (about 1/2" to 3/4") in the back, even after replacing springs and adding helpers.

I was going to do a TT for the front, just in case the extra height is causing it to bottom out?? but I wanted to be sure first.

Already checked:

ball joints - ok
tie-rods - ok
stabilizer bar links - ok
shocks - ok
CV halfshaft - seems ok

Was thinking maybe stab. bushings for mount to frame or torsion bar if not just a TT issue.

Thanks,
Eric

I had a thump with mine, it turned out to be mostly due to worn bushings where the sway bar connected to the frame. Bought some energy suspension bushings and has mostly cleared up. I think the rest of my thumping is due to ball joints. But o well. I've heard of some type of bushing for the torsion bar, but not sure what it is or if mine needs replaced.

if you're sure the ball joints are ok.. i'd check the sway bar bushings. i got tired of mine making noise, so i disconnected it for good. i only reconnect it for longer trips now.
