Clicking in Steering Gear?

[Mango]

I Have Clicking in steering gear box, Only notice when not moving, Louder when engine off.
New Red Head Box 10 monthes ago, I have bigger tires on it 31`s, what i have researched is possible cracked frame??

Will do a inspection when i finish work and get it up on the lift

Help

Could be the frame. Could be pitman arm rod ends, could be tie rods. I've got some balljoints that pop every now and then.

Ive noticed my one pitman arm end that has the boot facing up collects water sometimes and starts popping after it washes the grease out.

I would jack it up and see if it still does it while there's no tension on the tires and suspension. Make sure you pin point. It could be in the column or the box or the mechanical linkages. Get a helper to turn the wheel all sorts of ways while you inspect.

Have also seen leaf springs walk, make noise.

Hey All
Just installed a new Red Head Steering gear box under warranty and Clicking gone ???

 

[Radiohead]

I wonder what the failure was...

 

[Mango]

yes i am wondering the same ??

OK All
My steering is still very stiff and does not return back to center on its own while completing a turn?
New red head with 4,000 miles should be broken by now, all joints greased and fairly new, The only thing I can think or is that i used a Pickle Fork to Remove the Drag Link to the Pitman arm Seens to move freely by hand? Also I have a inline filter Cloged?
