2012 Steering Knock
My truck is a 2012 145'' scab Ecoboost. It doesn't have a level or any other suspension mods. I noticed a knocking sound while parallel parking this morning.
It occurs while steering quickly turning the wheel 1/4-1/2 a rotation in forward and reverse . It is easily felt through the wheel and it makes a quiet sound. I have a crummy video I will attach below. You can hear the sound when the camera is in the cab. It seems like either balljoints or tie rod ends maybe?. I have an oil change in 1000 miles at my dealer so the timing is pretty good to bring it in.

Thanks for the quick reply, Liam_Harrow. Come back and tell us what you find out at the dealership; I'll be able to jump in and help once they've diagnosed.

I got my truck back today, I'm happy. They said they found the column u joint binding and replaced the shaft assembly under warranty. They also replaced a rear speaker under warranty that was cutting out. While they were rotating the tires they had to replace 9 lugs because they were seized up. That was a pleasant surprise when I picked it up
Anyways, I'm happy to have it back. Thank you to Crystal and everyone else that posted.
