Cracking like noise when turning right
Hi, I just got new idler arms, Pittman arms, and steering column put on my 1999 2wd Chevy Blazer, but I noticed a cracking lik noise when I turn right. It's embarrassing. I was wondering if the new idler arm or something may need some grease or lube, if so what kind? But if that's not the case, what should I do to stop he weird noise?

Everything tightened up to spec?
Lift the front (safely on safe stands) and have someone turn, then look and listen in for the crack. Always at the same angle? When turning to one side or also the other? Have someone turn slowly and look at all the moving parts. Interference somewhere? Does it catch on something? This should help with narrowing down the place |
Yes everything is tightened. It always makes the noise when turning to the right.?

I'd safely lift the car in front. On the secured car try turning and listen for the noise with engine off.
Hopefully it is doing it when lifted. |
sounds like a cracked sway bar end
|
With a bit of luck just the rubber gone in the bracket.
Still easiest way to find out is to go looking. |
