Well, I have searched the archives but have not found a post that relates
specifically to the problem I'm experiencing with my 85 Westy Multivan.

Here's the deal:  My wife and I put about 500 pounds over the front axles
(most of this is her... hehehe... but don't tell her I said that.)
Recently, I have noticed that when I make right hand turns, especially when
going down a steep hill with the brakes applied, I hear "spring noises" and
a groan from the front end.  I would think that it's a wheel bearing except
for the fact that I also hear what sounds like a large spring being forced
to perform unnatural acts.  In straight and level driving, Wolfgang handles
beautifully, and I have no problem keeping him on the road.   Front shocks
are fairly new -- less than 5k miles on them I would guess.  New steering
box...

I have crawled underneath and done a visual inspection plus yanked and
pulled on everything I could get my hands on, and everything looks ok.  The
problem is also significantly less severe (if entirely unnoticeable) when
I'm by myself.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
