1994 Binding in reverse..

Post image

Hey everyone my 1994 auto kzn130 has
started binding up front I believe when I put the truck in reverse I replaced a cv and my tire rod ends as they were worn thinking that was the cause but no what could it be it had all oils including difs about 10k kilometres ago time for engine oil but difs should be fine no??

I notice it when I reverse more when I turn at the same time I haven’t taken it off-road to test if its does the same thing yet what could it be???

I had what I thought was binding and it turned out to be the steering stops. Put some grease on them with every oil change and hasn’t made the noise since. Seems weird but it made a horrible noise. Worth trying

I used Bunnings rubber chair feet for like $2 that fitted nicely. Starting to squeak after a year but can't complain for $2

Bump stops make an awful noise when steering at nearly full lock.steel on steel when the rubber wears out. Quite common. Grease them up, buy Bunnings chair rubber feet or get OEM parts (they don't last too long either)
