I bought my X at 54k. It had to be a street-only truck before me. I am now at 102k. 35's at ~75k. I do a lot of off-road.
I know the steering rack is a weakpoint on these trucks... how do I know if it is starting to fail? I get a LOT of popping at slow speeds. Turning, backing out of my driveway... it's painful. Is there a loss of steering feel? Or just noise? Any play in joints that I can check for?
EDIT: Might not be steering. Added video. This is just me going over the smallest dip in my driveway:
