I’ve recently noticed a knock when turning at low parking lot speed while applying the brake. I’m acutely aware of any new sound a vehicle makes, but I have zero steering or other issues, and do not hear the sound at road speeds.
The only thing I’ve found is the drag link rotates a little but makes a knock when you vigorously rotate it by hand. The tie rod has slight rotation but no noticeable sound.
I took it to my buddy, a 4x4 shop owner and mechanic. That is all he found as well. It is the stock link and rod, with no grease fittings. He said if it had the fittings he would just grease it and the sound would probably go away. He is t concerned about it.
im running a 3.5” JKS lift which amounts to 4.5”+, and 33 ATs. I wheel only moderately, and I am conservative while doing so.
Thoughts?
