    It has been about 2,000 miles since I installed Bilstein 5100's , front differential drop , Method MR NV 305 wheels , KO2's (285/65 r 17 ) and Icon add a leaf . Today i noticed the truck making a loud clunking sound when turning under acceleration . After checking all lower control arm bolts & sub-frame bolts , I found the power steering rack shifting . I'm not sure if the dealership will cover this under factory warranty , (2018 w/ 7200 miles ) . Has anyone experienced this issue ?

    I found the right rear U-bolt worked its way loose / did not torque tight enough . Re-torqued the U bolts to 100 ft lbs & installed blue thread locker . Rookie move for not checking after driving . :annoyed:
