clunk!

    hey all, recently i've noticed a clunking noise occasionally when i turn my wheels from one side to the other. i have 1"BL and 2.5" coils and shocks. i think the sound comes from the u joint that connects the steering wheel shaft to the powersteering pump. it doenst happen all of the time and i have yet to actually watch the joint pop. (i'm guessing its like what happens to a socket swivel when the angle is too acute). if this is the culprit is there a powersteering pump lift or a way to realign the steer shaft?

    Might wanna check everything for tightness too.

    Front axle u-joints are my guess.
