I hit a pothole, now when I make a sharp turn either way there’s a terrible grinding noise and vibration on front right, the sharper I turn the worse the noise gets, I haven’t noticed any unusual noises in any other situations only when I turn sharp, I am lost as to what it could be any help would be great,

i have a 1994 Chevy 2500 Rear Wheel Drive

 

maybe the wheel bearing. i would jack up the front end and give the tire a spin and try to wiggle it see if you notice anything wrong. you could try to do the same to the other side as a control

 

jacked it up today, both tires had a lot of play side to side and nothing up and down, also heard clunking up in the truck and seen a bar twisting in rhythm with the wheels and that was where the clunk was coming from, not sure what that is called I’m no mechanic, the steering wheel also moved in rhythm with the wheels, the bar that was twisting was located up in truck any idea what that is?

 

The bar is probably the stabilizer or sway bar. Check the bushing in this bar as this will cause a clunk when the bushings are worn out. Can you post a picture of it.

 

This first picture is the picture of the bar I’m guessing a steering shaft or something I’m not sure

 

Second picture is I just noticed that the tires rub on that curved bar

 

Third picture it looks to me as if the control arm is sagging on the left side as you look at the picture but can’t quite tell

 

It was the sway bar, took it off and no more sound, should I be concerned about putting a new sway bar on or could I get by for awhile without one

 

on my 94 the connecting links for the sway bar are MIA. it has body roll bad because of it, i would be careful on how fast you take your turns. BUT something else is prob messed up to cause the tire to rub on the sway bar

 

yeah I’m still doing some investigating, but the sway bar was completely twisted up to where the part that connects to the axle was sticking up and the tire was rubbing on that but I’m still looking at all components to make sure, thank you for the help
