I have heard a lot about bad steering boxes but cannot recall if the 2021 JLUR is included in those discussions?
I just started to hear a clunking noise from the front end yesterday, it has 8000 miles on it (5000 since lifted) It happens when you turn the wheel back and forth just a couple of inches running or not, I had the wife turn the wheel while I was underneath, and the clunk is coming from like the pitman arm I think (big nut facing down)
Any ideas?

Can you grab a video?

This is likely the draglink joint.
