Weird steering noise

[SopwithGuy]

So pulling out of my driveway this morning in my ‘25 Rubicon X (six months old), my steering made a very noticeable knock/grind noise when turning both directions. It was still there at my destination when parking but slightly less noticeable. Any ideas? Absolutely nothing should be worn out this soon! Thx.

Not much to go on there. If it’s doing it today, have someone in the driver’s seat and have them steer back and forth. That’ll give you a chance to identify where it’s coming from. My guess is it’s your ball joints need to be retorqued. Stupid aluminum knuckles. But yeah, 6 months you shouldn’t have any worn out parts, well, unless you wheel it hard.

Take it to the dealer and make them figure it out under warranty. That’s what it’s for. If you can get a video of it for the technician it will help him diag it.

I bent the dust cover on my factory steering stabilizer which made a rubbing and grinding noise. But have the dealer check it out as your right nothing should be worn yet.
