I think I might be losing my mind here, but lately when I'm turning the wheel when parallel parking, I can feel a thumping under the DS floorboards.

Am I going crazy?

Bring it by...I'd be happy to give you a hand pinpointing the noise :D
 
Not to revive this thread, but now with the cold weather, it's much worse. It almost feels damaging.

Am I the only one besides wngrog to have this issue?

Is this just inherent to the ARB T-Bars? Or possibly them not being greased upon install?

I haven't experienced this but I put a heavy coating of anti-sieze on the OME t-bars before I installed them. After reading what Spresso went through getting his stock t-bars off, I didn't want that experience in my future.
 
This thread won't die.

I haven't wheeled in over a month, and 3 times in the last 2weeks I've had a clunking sound/feeling from the front end when turning the wheel (not to the locks) to the left.

I think it's the Fr Diff. but I'm not sure why it would do this - I'm certain the Cen. Diff. is disengaged, and this happens on smooth flat surfaces, like the concrete in my building's garage, and asphalt at the market.

Like I said, only happened 3times so far, and it only clunks once or twice each of those 3times. I'm not sure if this is normal (before November, it had never been taken offroad) or if I should be concerned.
