Default steering issues.

ok so whenever i turn my steering wheel hard left it makes this clicking noise. i thought it was my tie rod so i just got a whole new tie rod upgrade kit installed and its still making the noise. does anyone have an idea on what it could be since its not that? trac bar maybe?

is this while you're rolling, or stopped.

if rolling, probably u-joint or wheel bearing.

if stopped, probably your track bar. could also be a tie rod end. while you're at it, check your ball joints.

is it more of a knocking or just a clicking?

x2 I would start with the ujoints and wheel bearings. the track bar is notorious for making popping noises when its not torqued down enough

it happens when im both stopped and moving. and last time i checked my ball joints maybe a month ago they seemed fine. and im pretty sure i just changed my ujoints earlier this summer also. if its just one of those though how bad is it for me to still drive it as my DD i legit have no money after just buying that whole new tie rod kit.
