TLDR bearing went bad in only 7 months and was binding my steering making it click like ball joints.
So I installed the steer smarts sector shaft brace back in May since it had the sealed bearing. Over the last month I've noticed my steering returning to center less quickly and increased steering effort. This morning I got the three clicks when turning right slowly and assumed my ball joints were under torqued. Then this evening, I had the wife turn the wheel with me down there and noticed that it was actually the sector shaft brace clicking because the bearing had seized. Overall I can't recommend this brace as it's not easily serviceable, and even if it was, it only lasted 7 months.
