I have a 17 Z71 with a 3.5 RC knuckle lift kit. I have the popping/clunking in the steering also when stopped turning left to right or vise versa. Has anyone actually found a fix to this issue? Besides replacing a whole rack which I’m skeptical of spending that much just to happen again on me. My new(ish) truck (34,000 miles)sounds like a 1990s f150 when I turn and cannot stand it. Mine started clunking as soon as the kit went on. per previous posts. Has anyone resolved the issue by removing the loose washers? I am almost afraid to remove the boot and check the inner tie rod. thanks Phil
