So I had the ZHP in the garage for some miscellaneous maintenance, and I needed to move it backwards about 3 feet. No point in starting the engine, so I used my foot to move it back. I'm glad I did, b/c I noticed a very audible "click" when I turned the steering wheel (position 2, engine off) along with a little bit of play.

This does have me a bit nervous.b/c tomorrow I plan on going out for some intense mountain driving. Is this something I should be worried about or is this normal?

I can't get the car to a lift before driving tomorrow, but I can certainly look under the car. I don't know how long it's been doing this as I only noticed it b/c the engine was off.

Woah. I felt something click in my suspension today, too. It was while I was driving, though. Hope you figure it out.

Steering endlinks or cab loading because you were backing up?

Here's a video I made that quite distinctly demonstrates the noise I'm talking about:

That looks like it's it. Thanks for the info! Hopefully it's not too difficult/expensive to replace.
