My 95 1500 4x2 has a recently rebuilt front suspension. Steering is nice and stiff, no wandering or pulling. When I hit the brakes my right wheel shifts, then once stopped and letting off the brake, it shifts back into position. Had a helper verify there was movement and that it wasn't a loose caliper or caliper bracket (very similar symtoms). I can hear a thud when this happens. I will be throwing it on the lift in about 3 hours, just wanted any suggestions available as I have not ran across this problem before. Im assuming something is loose, but you know what assuming does. Thanks guys

Could be ball Joints (top bottom or both), could also be hub, Lower or upper control arm, tie rod end.

Just to name a few.

Let us know what you find out!
