Default Steering Wheel Clunk

Do you guys know what would be causing an odd clunking sensation coming from my steering wheel when I go over bumpy terrain? There is also a lot of weird noises coming from what sounds like the steering wheel area too. It makes a lot of creeking and squeeking noise from the cab, and it's gotten progressively worse. I also have four missing lower rubber bushings on my cabmounts. I have no idea why they are missing. The guy who owned this truck before me was a joke. I'm going to order a kit from energy suspension and replace all the lower bushings.

See if the bottom of your steering column is loose. Grab it where it comes out of firewall below brake booster. It should not move up and or sideways. If it does http://www.rocksolidramtrucksteering.com/

Check for play in your slip joint on the shaft itself also. The Rocksolid fix will only fix play in the lower column bearing, not in the shaft's joint.

I had play in both.
