Can you give more detail in the sound? Almost sounds like a bad bearing? Only when steering?

Yes it is a groaning noise but only when turning left at close to full wheel lock..

No sound at all when turning right.... Right tire is more worn also...

thx for your help.

Mine has done that for quite a while too...I can't find anything wrong and just accept as "A Jeep Thing"

I don't have irregular tire wear though...

Re: Grand Steering Box whining

Hi Steve, Have you had someone turn the wheel for you while you watch the steering box? It may be a touch loose and turning the wheel to the left might be moving it just enough to generate some noise.
Have you got a 247 TC by chance?
