Clunk in Steering

[bigfj62]

I have recently noticed a new clunk when I turn. Fresh, tie rod ends, stabilizer and knuckle rebuilds. I had my wife turn the wheel while I was looking underneath the truck. There was a clunk that seemed to be originating from the steering box. It actually caused the coolant lines to pulse when it hit a certain point like the flow was shut off for a split second. Has anyone come across this or know what it could be?

The lines might have done that if you hit the left or right limit stops. But try checking the u-joints on the steering shaft.
Good luck.

It is not in full turn. It seems to be in the middle.

I had one from my OME steering stabilizer. Had to grind down the washer so it wouldn't rub against the drag link.

Hmm i'll check on that because it seemed to start as soon as I put in the OME stabilizer and new tie rod ends.

Did you ever figure this out? I think I have a similar issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
