    Mechanics advise needed

    Clunk/pop from driver/front wheel area when turning right. Does not happen every time, usually at low/medium speeds (neighbor hood/on ramp).

    Began during Labor Day trip where I did a fair amount of off-roading.

    All boots appear intact, tie rods are tight, no play in wheels, retorqued most components.

    Re-greased my Total Chaos UCA and the sound went away for 24 hours, but now it’s back.

    I think the sound is coming from the wheel/suspension area but the steering rack is over there too so assuming that is a possibility as well.

    Next steps, thoughts/ideas, anyone with similar problems?

    Dont know if this helps, but recently, I had a friend with a similar sounding issue, no pun intended, on there GMC Terrain. They took it to two dealers that wouldn't diagnose the issue. They then took it into the local tire shop / mechanic who found a chunk of rock, a little smaller than a golf ball, wedged in the front coil over. This was why it was so intermittent.

    I'm going to guess it the TC UCA uniball. Give it a good clean and thorough greasing and see if it goes away.

    Sounds like something may be binding. When you said no play in wheels, did you lift front tires off ground and shake/grab them to see if they had and play side to side or up and down? Also check sway bar bushings

    Back when I was looking at uca’s I saw one guy had a clunking issue with the tc on the 1st gen. I think he ended up sending it back and having it rebuilt. After attempting to clean and regressing. Ultimately I had gone with spc uca for that reason.
