Welcome to the brand new game show where 4th Gen owners compete in trying to diagnose what the F is making this noise!!!

Started after hitting a nasty pothole today, noise is from front passenger side wheel and only happens when turning the wheel to the right, at slow speeds or while stopped, and mostly during the last 2/3rd's or so of steering wheel rotation.
No other symptoms, alignment seems fine. Quick visual inspection seems fine but I have not yet had the chance to have another person turn wheel back and forth while I listen from outside and below to try and pinpoint the noise's location.
Hard to describe but sounds like a 'wet rubber getting rubbed' sound, if that makes sense...
Take a listen, it's only when turning right
Thanks everyone

I had similar sound on my left side. Just to the end of full turn left. At first, thought it was my uni ball bolt on the spindle turning. When you almost get to full turn, steering knuckle/uca kinda binds and lifts. I torqued it more stopped for a day or 2. And I had to look at your build to see if you had uni ball to answer this. I have Camburgs.

I finally got frustrated with the sound and de bolted the ball from the spindle. pulled the bolt, adaptors out and turned the ball so I could see the nylon felt thing inside. I dry lubed it to death. Put it back together and never had the sound again. I presume, they didn't get enough pre lubing in there to keep it moist. Yes I periodically lube mine from the start.
