Guess this noise !?

[seczdbz]

This just started happening within the past couple of days. A friend and I have looked it over and tried to pin point it but can't quite figure it out. Was checking to see if this is maybe a common problem and someone will know....
CV axles are new and it was making this noise before they were replaced so that cuts those from the equation. Upper control arms, and lower ball joints (OEM) were put on about a year ago. We tried to grease everything down possible and still no luck. Any ideas what to check or look for are appreciated !

Tie rods, steering rack/bushings would be next on my list as it seems to happen when you're turning the wheel...

That's metal on metal contact with force, ball joins would be my guess, potentially lowers since they hold a lot of weight. Get someone under there when you turn it and see if you can pinpoint the noise.

Yeah we thought it may be the LBJ but I figured the OEM's would last longer than a year. Will jack it up later and check to see if they have any play.

Forgot to add the steering rack, bushings and tie rods are only a year old too...this is with a low mileage year as well (less than 10k miles)

When did the noise start? After any of those replaced components? What kind of lift do you have? Get a friend to turn the wheel and home in on the noise. I'm thinking it should be easy to locate that way.

Started last week. Everything was replaced about a year ago when I put the lift on besides the cv axles. Those were replaced today. That's what we did earlier, took turns turning the wheel and trying to pin point it. About to go at it again now and see if we can figure it out.

EDIT: Lift is a toytec 3" lift. Upper control arms are total chaos uniball.

How do the uniballs look? Lubricated? Are there any poly bushings in your front end? Also check the sway bar links.

I think it sounds like the tie rod ends.
