I just had sway bar links and a front right wheel bearing replaced, and when I backed up and turned, my front wheels "jerked/jumped" sideways a couple of times accompanied by a mild crack/bang each time they jumped (tires are bad and one was soft, but they are matched on the front, different on the rear but all 225/50/16's; 4 replacements are on order!) Drove away and tried to reproduce this is a parking lot and got the same symptom very mildly, then it seemed to go away, but it's back today slightly. The transmission isn't 100% (hard 1/2 shift and maybe a slip in 3), but the local shop says it's not bad; diffs are supposed to be 100%. Transmission will go under the knife soon, but I want to make sure I do anything else that needs doing at the same time.

Can anyone suggest the reason for the strange sideways jump and sound??

Thanks! Mike
