Well, both my friend and I have '93 Ext. Cab pickups and both of us experience loud popping/racheting noise that only happens on hard turns (like a sharp turn into a parking space). It doesn't matter if I'm in 4wd or 2wd. It's really loud and it sounds like a metal on metal sound... but who knows. Well, after searching and reading, it sounds like it will be the steering stops. It can't be my sway bar because I took it off a while ago. I want to buy new steering stops, or just grease them up, but I have no idea what they look like or where they car. Can someone take some quick snapshots please and help me out? Thanks.

hope that helps. water proof grease works best, at least here in seattle.

oh yeah, there is one in the front and the back.

 

Thank! You rock!

 

yeah i know.....

 

Well I looked at them and they seem to be ground down pretty bad. I haven't greased them up yet since I don't have any grease. Can you buy them? What would the part # be? I'd rather just replace them and then keep them greased.

 

Kevy...you rock. I just got the bolt covers/Groan covers and was not sure where they went. That is perfect.

Thanks for the informative pics!!!!

BTW...the bolt covers are available here: Link (Thank you Fahrenheit 451).

We talked about this in another thread. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...ighlight=groan

 

hmmm i might have to buy some of those some day.... but my water proof grease works fine for now. im glad the pic helped so much. i just happened to have it saved on my computer from before.

 

Thanks. Those little pieces of plastic sure are expensive. Anyway... . so how many will I need altogether?

 

4 one on the front of each side and one on the back of each side.

 

Well I greased them up and it seems to work. I think I'll just leave them like that for a while until I feel like spending 25 bucks to get new ones.... Thanks a lot for the help.

 

my pleasure.
