There is a knock in the front end of Apple!! I'm pretty sure it's an inner tie rod. Here is a video of my wife turning wheel back and forth while on ground. You can hear the knocking and I can feel it in the rod. Does that sound like an inner tie rod? Should I go back with stock or Moog or is there something better to upgrade to??
Do you have any leaks? or wet boots? How's your steering fluid?
I've been tracking my steering rack for a while. It's a minor seep but no noise like you are experiencing. Not sure thats your steering rack.
