Strange Noise
 

I have my car on jack stands to adjust my parking brakes...I had previously installed a bump steer kit about a month ago...the noise that I hear is kind of like a clunk and can be heard when I turn my steering wheel from left to right ( front is on jack stands and the tires are off)...Is this clunk a result of installing the bump steer kit? TIA

Did you unbolt the ujoints on the steering shaft? If not, that COULD be your noise.

If you did, you should still check for "clean" movement of the ujoints.

HTH

i bought the kit from our host...i found the installation instructions and they state that a "slight clicking may occur when turning the steering wheel. This will disappear within a few miles". So I assume the noise i hear is normal....even though I have driven well over a "few" miles.

Which kit did you buy? The one with spacers or the ERP version for the tie rod ends?
The spacer version is what I have. I had to readjust the ujoints to get smooth steering action lock to lock.

I would try loosening the 13mm nut and see if it finds it's "comfort" zone. Most likely, you will need to slide the joint further up the steering shaft. It may be just a few mm.

At the very least, use some light oil on the joints. They be dried out and this has worked well for others with similar problems.

I have the spacer kit also...Thanks for the ideas, I will readjust the u-joints tomorrow after work...thanks
