Steering wheel "clunk"

[mselph544]

Anyone have this issue or know what it is?
It only does it when sitting still and slightly turning the wheel to the left. See video in the link

I can't get to the link through the tapatalk app. I'll try it from a computer. I'm interested to see it. I've had a clunk also but not while sitting still.

Wow!! crazy clunk. I've never seen that before. nothing like what I hear on mine. Good luck finding the source.

Does it sound like its coming from the column, inside the cab, or from the suspension?

I wanted to jump right to tie-rods, but that sounded almost like it was coming from the interior.

I get a slight clunk that I can feel in the steering wheel while moving at low speeds. Nothing like that though. I've checked everything, shook the entire front end down, tightened every bolt in the front suspension and still can't trace it.

I had a coworker turn the wheel while under the truck. I can hear it but it's quieter. With my head near the rack, the sound seems to come from higher, so my guess would be inside the cab. I put my head under the dash. Looking at where the splines from the shaft align, as it rotates I can't see anything move out the ordinary.
