wierd "thud" and "ka-tink" noises after the RC lift went on

Gotchya. I'll start looking there. Thanks for the info.guys!

Mine only happens when I turn too sharply... it offsets the front driver wheel and then when I brake sharply it "resets" it back to center. I think it's something with the rack and pinion but I hope not because that's a bitch to get to. Even worse it could be the CV slipping out of the hub.

Rack and pinion is easy to get to. Just drop the front diff. I can have the front diff on the ground in 30 min

Just drop the front diff.

You make it sound easy like changing brakes. I must be missing something.

He's had his front end apart so many times that it is easy for him. For someone who's doing it for the first time, expect 1-2 hours.

Kind of like the first time I installed a lift.... took me a good 7+ hours (and im very mechanically inclined and have a garage full of tools). Now I can install a complete lift in ~3 hrs taking my time. (4 hrs if its 110 degrees out... right Corey? lol)

Each time you do it you learn new tricks to make the next time easier, you know all the bolt sizes, which extensions to use, etc, etc.

Yea I've definitely had the front end apart a few times. Lol
