Ever since i lifted my 89 xj 3 inches with a skyjacker kit, the steering creaks and clunks when i turn the wheels in tight turns. the steering box seems to be fine,no cracks in the bracket. It almost sounds like the noise is coming from near the wheels. Any ideas?
 
Did you replace the trackbar? If so tighten the bolts again.
 
Do you have swaybar quick disconnects? If so, disconnect them and see if that's the root of the noise.
 
I still have the original sway bar links on there for safety on the road, which is another problem as they seem to limit the suspension,making a harsh ride. would this be causing noise?
 
is the noise only when you're rolling if so ck brake roters and axle ujoints. if not jack the axle up so the tires are off the ground and try it if the noise stays it's not the track bar.
