2013 Steering Clunk/Creak at Full Lock (Solution)

Hey all,
Recently diagnosed a clunking/creaking noise with my 2013 Tacoma. When diagnosing it I did see a few threads that mentioned the issue but not many with examples and pictures. So wanted to do a quick write up to document my experience.

TLDR:
My driver side front steering stop was rubbing

Full Backstory/The issue:
So recently I fit brand new stock size (LT245/75 R16) KO2s and got a fresh alignment on my truck. After driving home from the alignment shop, turning into my garage, I heard a horrible clunk come from the front of the truck. I confirmed the new treads weren't catching/rubbing anywhere and after some testing I was able to narrow down that the clunk/creak only occurred at or near full lock on a right hand turn and the noise sounded like it was coming from the drivers side front suspension. Since I just had the alignment I feared maybe the eccentric bolts weren't fully tightened so I went in and torqued them all to spec. Unfortunately the issue remained. After doing some more research I was able to find a few threads where users mentioned steering stops that rub through their factory plastic bumpers and begin to make noise.
Lo and behold this was the case, I looked at the stop and I could see rubbing marks where the stop was making contact, I applied some anti-seize to the stop and the noise was gone

I was able to find a part on Ebay which looks like it would replace these stops but its not clear if they are actually correct. When I look up the part number I see it come up as a "Hardware Pack" or "Steering Stop Extension Plate" on a greater list of parts for a few suspension kits if someone has experience with these let us know.

Yeah, my truck either didn’t come with bumpers, or they fell off?​

I don’t even see a place for a bumper to mount?

I’d check the steering rack bolts and bushings.

 

I’m wanting to click on the links but they don’t seem to be working anymore. Happen to have new links? Wanting to get this checked out by my mechanic
