Question W123 pulls right + FR noise

hey guys,

the '82 has a brand new front end in miles (less than 5k) but not in time - 5 years.

- guide rods
- control arm bushings
- tie rods
- shocks, steering damper

- did not replace LBJs, or wheel races. LBJ's are 10 yrs old.

it is now pulling to the right (was perfect after rebuild). when moving forward from a stop and at low speeds exhibits a 'bump bump' low frequency sound coming from the right front - it sounds like from the guide rod mount. not groaning.

looking for diagnosis ideas as i dive in - everything still looks perfectly brand new underneath.

thanks,
dd
