Vibrations When Turning?

My powersteering started squealing really badly a couple of months ago and I replaced the pump and filled it with new fluid. Problem solved for a while. Now just after this weekend everytime I turn right I get a "clunking" sound (as best as I can describe in text) and the truck starts vibrating. Of course my shop is on top of a hill and I was turning on a hill but I have no idea what this might be. Does anyone have any idea or something I need to check?

Re: Vibrations When Turning?

Check the ball joints, tie rod ends, drag link, and grease them all. My truck had a clunk/creek in the steering for a while and it would pop when I was sitting still and turning. I cant remeber what exactly it ended up being, I have replaced all of the front end parts and I forget what did what.
Did you flush out all of the old fluid?

379 is correct but add the bushings for the upper and lower control arms
