    Looks like my front end noise is coming from the steering rack. So i'm going to try tightening the rack adjustment which has helped other members, and if that doesnt work then possibly a driver side inner tie rod.

    Hopefully you don't have the same problem I had. I thought the noise was coming from the drivers side inner tie rod but once I replaced it, it still made the noise. Turned out to be the rack itself where the inner tie rod screws in.

    Yesterday I spent about 45 min messing with the secure console I installed the day before. I'll start a thread today showing what I did so other members with the secure console can do the same if they want

    Adam did you ever try adjusting the rack yoke to take up slack to see if that helped the noise? Im going to give that a try Saturday when I put my new bushings on

    Please post up some pictures of where you are tightening because I have the noise going on as well. Also what bushings you putting in?

    Changed my front diff fluid. The old fluid didn't look bad, but wasn't pretty either! Didn't change the popping sound so looks like that's not it either. I'm pretty much down to the CV's but really don't want to replace those "just because" since aftermarket ones scare me based on how many some members have broken, and I just can't afford $2k for RCV's (especially on a hunch that's the problem)
