    Yes I forgot to mention I had replaced the front diff bushings.
    I will be putting it on jack stands tomorrow for a few days. During this time will be pulling the front & rear sway bars along the links for 2 reasons. First to see if it was making the noises & second to see how well it drives without them.
    also will be pulling the rotors to have them turned and replacing the front & rear pads.
    Unfortunately it will sit on jack stands for close to a week. The brakes I ordered are coming from 2 warehouses. One in So Ca & the other is in KS. Nothing is moving out of there right now. I ordered the Yellow Stuff EBC Pads.

    Already have the dimpled & slotted rotors.

    They work really well for stopping this big beast. Last time I used the greenstuff, this time going with the yellow to see which I like best.
    Also while it is in the air I will be able to go over the undercarriage and the suspension.

    Am I safe to think since I can turn the wheel lock to lock and back without any noises, that it is not the rack that is making the noises?

    I wouldn't have "throw away" rotors turned. Rotors aren't made like they were back in the day. Just buy new ones as they are meant for one time use.

    This is what on their site about turning them
    "EBC recommends highly the Pro Cut on car brake lathes at your disc."

    Wait you already have EBC slotted and dimpled rotors? I must have missed that. I was referring to cheap rotors you buy from a local auto parts store.

    Yes, I put them on when I went to the EBC pads, if I remember right late 2012.

    That's probably a safe bet... try turning lock to lock while it's in drive and you're holding the brakes.

    Glad to hear that, really didn't want to have to replace the rack as well.
