Default Clicking in power steering box

Anyone have a clicking sound from their steering box when turning the wheels back and forth? I have a 3.5 " RC lift on my 2013 rubicon. If this noise really is front the steering box will it be covered under warranty with the lift I have on?

I would check and make sure nothing is rubbing or binding, usually something overlooked instead of a major component failure. If the steering box is bad it would be at your dealerships discretion if they would cover it or not. I would hope it would be on a 2013 tho..

You might need to squirt some grease into the rubber boot onto the steering column shaft. There is a write up about it on.this forum
