Steering Stops?

When I turn my wheels at full lock I get a nasty popping noise, so I checked my cv boots all looks good. Do i need to adjust my turn sops? If so where are they? Pics would help tremendously.

Grease or antisieze. I personally prefer antisieze for this problem. I also prefer to use it when doing brake jobs. My 2 cents.

Do you find antisieze lasts longer than grease? Living here in a rainforest grease seems to last no time at all on mine. Maybe I'll try the antisieze next time.

Yes, I do find antisieze to last longer in every application vs. grease. However, it just depends on what you are lubing. Obviously you wouldn't use antisieze for your u-joints. LOL. I also like to use antisieze on exhaust manifold studs, nuts, etc. I forgot to mention that earlier. It's awesome for exhaust.

if your grease is getting washed out try using a good synthetic marine grease like the stuff amsoil makes.
