turn wheel and not so good sounding noise happens
so sometimes when i'm driving if i take a turn and crank the wheel all the way it makes a loud "crack or konk" type noise, not like something is breaking but is maybe on the verge of breaking. what could be the problem?

Grease the steering stops, and use the search button. It happens to everyone's trucks, and we get a thread on it about once a week.

I had the same thing with mine while reversing and turning hard to straighten up on the street outside my garage until I realized the steering stops needed greased, the grease did the trick for me.

just in case you wanted some more detailed instructions on greasing the steering stops...

Yep, and I've somehow managed to retain both of mine. They're like a nylon cap that is supposed to act as sort of a bushing, I guess, to absorb impact from the steering stop hitting the lower control arm or whatever it hits on these funky IFS systems. They are on the verge of falling off every time I get under the truck

Please use the search feature.
I remember years back (will be 5yrs tomorrow!) that was one of the first threads I ever made on this site.
Like everybody else has said, there are nylon caps that are supposed to be on there to cover them.
They do not last long so get several sets, or just use grease.

There's even a old thread around here somewhere that a fellow was determined to stop this horrific noise forever. So, he fashioned some mod for the stops. Unfortunately, I don't remember what he did or what the title of thread was. I do remember it was pretty good idea. Kinda involved, but a good idea nonetheless.
