I was thinking it might be my cv joint, it just started occuring. I hear it every time i turn. My truck is basically stock.
If it is the cv joint, what do i need to do to fix it?

pull out the old axle, put in a new one, and drive off.
edit: sorry, that probably sounds flippant. it's actually an easy fix with the right equipment. reman axles are under $100 with core return.

I have a sort of almost knocking/clicking type sound that I hear when I turn the wheel left under certain types of articulation. Anyone know what that is? It's definately coming from the front suspension. Also, usually only happens when I'm at or near full lock (at the steering stops). Almost sounds like it's "catching" the steering stops instead of rubbing them and making that crappy sound like it normally does. Thought it might be the plastic fender trim but I know my stuff is tucked in tight and bolted down and it doesn't sound like plastic anyways.

My 2nd gen 4Runner/Truck makes a loud popping/grinding noise when I make a sharp turn. What is this noise?
Don't worry, most of the time this noise is just the steering stops rubbing on each other. Normally there is a plastic cap covering the metal preventing this noise.
However, these quickly wear away and fall off. You can get replacement caps for a couple bucks at the dealer, but most people just grease the metal stops, or live with it.

No, I know what the steering stop noise is. I've heard that before, sounds like a very erry sort of rubbing sound. Mine sounds almost like the steering stops are "catching" and you hear it catch, then let go, catch then let go. And the catching and letting go is the sound I described above. I'm wondering if this is related to the fact that I think I might need new tie rods at some point in the near future, which I"m gonna have looked at in April (they're not that bad right now, but I want to get it looked at to make sure).
