I have a few questions that im sure yall could help me with. What would cause a jolt when i am coming off the brakes after turning a corner and getting back into the throttle, sometimes i get this jolt which is pretty significant. Second question is i have noticed a slight shimmy when applying the brakes....nothing crazy but i can feel it.
Last one is when i am in reverse and have the wheel turned fairly sharply to the left i get this feeling in the truck that i am running over little humps every few feet. its only when the wheel is cranked to the left. Thanks for any input
Oh yeah i have a 2003 5.7L quad cab with 63k miles
i get the same bump when backing up with the whells turned all the way...nothing else appears to be wrong with my front end though...maybe its a 4wd thing?
slight shimmy could be the rotors are warped.....the jolt could be from ring gear backlash (i can feel it in mine every once in awhile)....and the reverse gig, i would check the CV joint

basically when you let off the throttle and then hit the throttle again the pinion isn't engaged fully with the ring gear and then that jolt comes from the pinion and ring gear
