Just replaced my auto trans on my 96. It drives fine until i turn the wheel. After driving a few feet with the wheels turned in either direction something in the front end seems to bind. It makes a big clunk you can feel through the whole car. I jacked all 4 wheels off the ground and with the truck in neutral spun the drivers wheel forward, it rotated almost a full turn before it "caught" and the opposite front wheel started rotating forward as well. once this happened the wheel got pretty hard to rotate. I've never messed with axles before anyone have any ideas whats wrong? Thanks

I'm assuming you had the Rotors off the car? If so the bolts can back out if you don't use lock tite and make some problems when they hit the inner bolts.
