Clicking noise turning.

2024 Rubicon making this noise when stationary. 500 miles. Normal?

Sounds normal to me.

I gave up chasing the (I assume ball joint) popping noises while turning stationary or moving slowly. Even after retorquing the ball joints to the new spec, this things pops like crazy.

32K miles doing it and still steers perfectly. I hate that there is no easy solution, but I'm done chasing it, if it seems to have no ill effects. Every other fix you see on line, provides only temporary relief at best.

To answer your question I don't think it is normal, but also it is very prevalent in the JL.

Good to know lol. Same noise as this?

Anyone had this happen on a model other than the 2021s? Checked the ball joints and seemed tight.

There are dozens of youtube videos with clicking front ends. My balljoints are absolutely fine, torqued to spec+ a bit, Jeep drives perfectly on and off road at all speeds. Yet it clicks specially at very low speeds while turning (e.g. backing out of parking spot).

Now, most people simply don't notice these noises given how loud the engines are on startup, music, A/C, etc.

Just tightened them at the dealership and still clicks. Just gonna ignore it, if something breaks down the road, at least it’s on record.

I did the same. I took it to the dealer just so they don't claim later that it was my 37" tires. Took it early, before mods, created a record. I'm sure the tech completely overtorqued them, as the noise decreased for a couple of weeks only to return.

30K miles later, and the wheel are still attached, ball joints have no abnormal play, and those bitches are still clicking like an empty gun.
