Hey guys, I noticed a new sound that is really worrying me. I have a 2004 Rubicon.
When i turn the wheel it makes a loud clicking, not just once a turn and not always at the same position. I have read up on other threads and have done as much troubleshooting as I could possibly do. I layed underneath the jeep as a friend turned the wheel and didnt notice anything moving out of the ordinary and because the sound is so weird i can't locate exactly where it is coming from. My best guess would be front center?
Now, i finally decided to jack the car up and when i did the clicking stopped. So whatever the problem is, it is obviously something that is triggered by the weight of the car because the clicking does not come at all no matter how many times i turn the wheel.
I am not sure how to post videos here, so i am uploading them on youtube and will post the link.
