Where were these taken at?
My Ultra (crappy) wheels lost their shine real fast and started pitting. So instead of fighting that battle for years to come I decided to paint them black to match the truck.
It needs a little bit of work but...
this is what it lookde like stock

This could be the cap missing from the steering stop, look underneath where it touches, the caps don't last and it might be as simple fix as a blob of grease on the contact surfaces...... and a slight noise in the front end when turned full stop and hitting a bump .....]

Nice truck btw.
Bolt in the top circle touches the curved bit to the right.

You're welcome.Dodge, that looks like it might have done the trick! I love simple fixes! Thanks man! BTW, everything else down in that area looks pretty solid. Where's the easy button?![]()
What does the cap look like? Mine looks like it still has some cap on the end of the bolt but it makes a snapping noise when the steering is at full lock and the suspension articulates.
It's a 93 2WD and it's don't it ever since I bought it used.
You're welcome.
Easy button?

I have heard of them making a popping noise, but not actually heard one. If there is a ridge worn on the stop, as it could if mostly it hits the stop on level ground, it may well "crack" as the bolt moves up when the suspension lifts.
Get someone to hold it on full lock and someone else to bounce the front of the truck while you have a look under.
I did exactly as you described and I couldn't hear anything. It seems like it only pops when the suspension really moves, like going into a driveway at full lock.
Could the sound be a balljoint? Cause while I was under the truck I noticed that one of the balljoints looked squished and a little bit of grease was weeping out.
Easy button?
