I'm getting a bunch of popping and creaking when turning the steering wheel. Now, I did go mudding about 2 weeks ago, sprayed her off but there might still be some up in there.

it's a sharp creaking/popping/cracking noise - anyone else experience this? in listening under the truck, it almost sounds like some of it could be coming from the steering box.

anyone else have this issue? I used a dry spray lubricant on the upper, lower arms and the tie rod mounts, but would really like this to go away, it's embarrassing.

Embrace the squeaking bro... Just turn up the radio, I find that all the squeaks and pops disappear when you crank the tunes.

Have you checked your CVs? That noise is usually associated with damaged CVs when truning.

I don't really hear anything from the bypasses at all really.

Check ALL of your uniballs and heims for play. More than likely something is worn out and sloppy. When this happens they make a pop noise when turning into/out of parking lots.
