Noise at full lock turning

[blkexp98]

Have any of you had this metallic noise while turning at full lock with the steering? Im trying to figure out whats hitting but havent had any luck. I have the factory 18" Enkei wheels and cross terrains. I especially notice it when i drive over a dip while turning hard.

My reason for asking is ive thought about changing to a different tire at some point thats slightly larger but not with a lift. I want to be sure i wont have any issues. I also want to be sure im not damaging anything as it sits now too.

try greasing the steering stops, or adjusting. http://www.toyota120.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2231&highlight=greasing+steering+stops http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/57115-steering-wheel-knock.html

Anyone have a picture of the steering stops? I've got the same problem, but don't know what the steering stops look like.

Ill try to take a look at mine tomorrow and add some grease there. If i get a chance to do this tomorrow ill take a picture of where i did it for you M1911. I see the ones on that link arnt working anymore.

I can almost do it on command over a speedbump or anything like that. I see some of the other threads say maybe the swaybar etc. so if this doesnt work ill move on to the next hardest. Would give me a good reason to move to the poly bushings.

Thanks Chaz! That was a very simple fix. I greased the slip joint this afternoon and hit the steering stops while I was at it.
