Has anyone experienced these suspension noises on their GX? Might end up taking it to the dealer to see if it's something covered but given that I have a lift (OME MT64 + UCA), worried they'll just blame the shocks for everything instead of actually investigating. The shocks were taken off my LC and I had zero issues.

Both these problems happen while turning at full lock (or close to full lock).

1. Pop/click noise when accelerating from a stop after full lock. This happens almost 100% of the time when there's some sort of incline/decline and only sometimes when it's on flat ground. In this video, I was parked on a slant (driver side higher than passenger).



2. Metal on metal grinding. Happens when doing any turn that compresses the suspension (U turns, leaving or entering a driveway, going over a speed bump with the wheel turned). Took it to a 4x4 offroad shop and they retoqued all suspension bolts and said the noise is coming from the steering bump stops hitting each other and that their shop GX and LC does the same thing. Not sure if I'm fully convinced cause wouldn't this be a much larger issue across the board given how many modified and lifted GX/LCs there are?
