front end issue

hey guys,

got a couple questions... i have a 97 f150 2wd with 4.6L, and im having some issues.

first, i have some slack in my steering, and it appears to me to be more than it should be.

Second, i have a clunking sound coming from my front end when i hit bumps, and im trying to figure out what it may be.

Any help would be appreciated,

Jason

The high wear components on our trucks are the ball joints and tie rod ends. I'd check those first.
