Good morning,

Noobie here. be gentle. I've only got 7K on my Sport. I have noticed that while in 4WD, when my wheel is turned to one extreme or the other, and I am changing from forward to reverse, or the other way around, there is a clank. If I had to make a guess, it sounds like some sort of steering linkage, control arm, etc. I guess I should take it in the the dealer asap?

I remember another thread on here mentioning some of the castle nuts up from being loose or having half ass cotter pin jobs done. If you're not comfortable checking yourself I'd say bring it into the dealer.

I'm comfortable looking. I'll just google Castle nuts. I'll let you know what I find.

is this yours? If so, I would for sure go and torque em down.
No. I was just posting a vid I found to see if I had the right part.
