Hey all I know this is in another thread but wanted to separate it do to me having some videos of the metal on metal or loose rod sound. I still can't find what is causing the noise.

Part 1 is me coming to a stop with the brakes applied.

Part 2 is me going around a couple of bends.

I know some of you responded on the other thread but decided to separate it do to people not knowing there is a recorded audio of mine.

 

I can't hear the audio clip (i'm at work) but i'll suggest that you check the sway bar links.

Good luck!!!!

 

It sounds like tie rods or sway bar end links.

 

Eric is right, however mine made noise and didn't have any movement in any direction. I have since removed my sway bar and end links and the noise vanished.

 

Hey guys,

thanks for the replies. To let you all know I had the sway bar links replaced recently so thanks to all you guys i got under there and actually found it. Tight fit tho lol....

I got under my truck with it on the ground and turned the wheels to the right a bit and then turned the truck off for a stiff steering column and guess what the noise is coming from where both the inner tie rod ends connect to the rack and pinion. Now the next challenge is to get the mechanics to see it.

 

Hey got the new rack installed and guess what apparently I had more than 1 problem. And well the loose steering is fixed and that stupid rattle is more noticable? Have any ideas?
