Default Steering Knock

Let me just say, all of you have helped me get all the little bugs out of my car. The only one left is this. I had the front springs cut last year, when I got the car back the steering has a knock that wasn't there before. When you turn the wheel to the right you can hear the knock, it only happens once, then it's gone. Drive it the next day and it's back. Once you turn the wheel to the right and you here the knock, it's gone.

Could it be a ball joint. When I retored the car I replaced everything in the steering. I checked the steering and could not find anything


Thanks for all the help

Have you double checked that you put enough grease in the ball joints? I had one in my T/A that popped a lot until I got enough grease in it.

Hi
Look if you have a STEERING IDLER ARM SEAL KIT - TO RELAY ROD PLASTIC AND RUBBER
I had this problem to RH LH turn when this rubber was missing.
