Around 200 000 miles
My truck makes rapid 'thud' noises when I corner on dry pavement, the problem persists on snow but isn't as bad. Power steering does not go hard, No leaking fluids of any sort, Transmission replaced 5 years ago. Do I have a U-joint problem or something else?

hey, my friend has a bronco that did the same thing. it ended up being the bushings on his sway bar i believe. or the stabilizer. anyway have somebody turn the wheels for you while your under the truck, and just look and listen for binding problems.

I only hear the sound when i am moving which would suggest U-Joints.
