Here is the write-up I got from my dealership about a clicking/popping I have been hearing coming from my front end. I have a 2022 Ram 1500 with 16K miles. This happens when I turn into parking spots or back down my driveway. Can anyone help? The dealership says there is nothing they can do.
Chad, we were able to duplicate the popping noise only when the steering is turned all the way to its stop one way or the other. We checked for any loose or worn components and found where the steering knuckle and the control arm are rubbing. The popping noise occurs when the control arm is moving up or down when they are touching each other. I thought I would send pics to you so you can see where the contact is happening.
Here are the pictures they sent me:
