Default Knocking when turning

95 XJ 4WD 4dr 4.0…fairly loud knocking when turning the steering wheel. Happens when turning left or right, stationary or moving. Everything under seems tight and I just retorqued the steering box bolts. Steinjagger steering.

Make sure the bracket on the frame where the track bar mounts is snugged down.
