Hey everyone.

I've had this problem that recently has gotten really annoying.

Everytime I turn the wheel either left or right more than 1/2 of the possible length I hear a mild to loud snapping sound and feel a bit of vibration on the floorboards.

It doesn't affect my steering but also doesn't sound good at all. I haven't had a chance to check it out with a friend watching as I turn the wheel but I figured I'd see if any of you all have experienced or heard something similar.

 

Check the track bar bolts for proper torque.

 

Ball joints. I hope not. JKs aren't old enough to need new ball joints yet.

mine does the same but only when in low 4X4 withthe wheels locked in. and only started after the lift was installed. Not sure what it is......

 

Deep sky, do you still have the plastic air dam on? You are running 35s and the tire is hanging up on something. Look for wear on the surface of all parts the tire could rub while turning. What back space is the rim. stock rims with 35s are going to rub on something. I dont think the steering intermediate shaft or the collar in the fire wall are what you are describing. Look at the control arms or anti sway bar for rubbing. Good luck

 

Thanks for all the replies guys. I went outside to take a look at it with a buddy of mine that knows his shit and it turns out that the Skyjacker sway bar disco's are noisy as hell.

Greased them up real good we'll see if that quiets them down. Was silent with them off though.
