Click/pop sound when turning

I think I may have a tie rod issue or something else.. Getting a click/pop when I turn my wheel left or right. Found evidence of grease on my passenger side tire. And then found grease leak evidence around the sway bar end link passenger side, image below. All boots look clean and CVs don't seem to have any extra play to them..

Any help would be amazingly appreciated!

 

Mine was doing the same thing after my lift, turned out it was loose. Tighten it up and be happy

 

I sure hope it's something that easy!

 

I got my lift almost a year ago though, and had it retorqued a few months back. But, I have been doing a LOT of offroading.

 

Yeah mine was about the same, started happening on a trip to Moab, decided to not worry about the loud click and pop until I got home

 

If you know which side it’s coming from: have you jacked that side up and tried grabbing the tire top and bottom and side to side and moving it back and forth? Could you see any play in the suspension or steering components?

 

CV or ball joint?

 

I haven't tried this yet. I'll be doing so after work.

 

CVs are looking fine, but I'm no expert. Not getting any extra play in them and boots look good.

 

Yeah, it's driving perfectly otherwise, just the noise. Just slightly annoying to keep hearing the noise and not knowing what it is and if it possibly could be something important if continued.

 

Got an appointment set with the peeps that installed my suspension to wrench around and tighten things if needed. Hopefully that'll do the trick. If not, I also set up an appointment with my local Toyota shop next week.

 

Did you find out what it was ? I have a lift which is 3.5” in all with aftermarket uca also diff drop kit, mine is doing the same thing now since I raised it.
