Howdy!

Loving my 2021 Gladiator with the Mopar lift and 37s.

However, I am hearing and feeling an audible clicking noise when the vehicle is moving 10-70mph. It’s only when moving the wheel from out of the “dead zone”. Once the vehicle starts to turn it makes the click. The noise is coming from the directly behind the steering hub/where the steering wheel itself attaches to the column inside the dash.

Has anybody else experienced this noise? Dealer fixed?
Cheers!

Mine has a slight click. I researched it on the JL site and found recommendations to spray lithium grease into the bearing on the firewall. I haven’t tried it yet

My last truck, a Chevy, had a squeak that sounded like a “meow” when the wheel was turned. It was the rubber seal at the firewall. Occasional Lithium grease fixed it.

My previous JL and My JT both have a click when turning like when the turn signal turns off but I have gotten used to it as I couldn't find it and have now given up since 2 vehicles have the same thing

Is it clicking or a thump feeling/noise? If the latter check your track bar axle side. It might be loose. Otherwise what was said above.
