Front End Clunk

I have a 2000 Excursion I absoutly love this truck except I have a clunk or creaking sometimes when turning the steering. The truck has a 6" Pro-Comp lift and I am running 305 70 16 (33's) on 10" wheels. The truck has a new Drag link tie rods and I just replaced all 4 ball joints (they really needed to rest) I still have the noise has any one heard of the steering box making noises the steering feels tight but who knows between the mis and the steering noise I am going crazy

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP

I used some grease that I had from a poly bushing kit and greased the rubber bushings that hold the sway bar, was a 20 min fix. I was having identical symptoms (clunk when turning). good luck

Also, the 2 front body - to - frame mounts have a tendency to become very "dry" and need some silicone or anti-seize on them. Do a search in this forum under body mounts and it'll explain....
