Default Knock when turning left

Hey y'all, so a few days ago I noticed that when I turn the wheel to the left just past center there is a singular knock. sounds like it is either coming from the drivers front wheel or somewhere on the front drivers side of the vehicle. I just put new pads on up front and checked out/cleaned the components up front. I know the bushing on the passenger side of the sway bar need replaced and plan on doing them soon. I don't recall seeing anything else out of the ordinary while in the wheel wells. My steering box has been in need of replacement or rebuild for a little while now, but i've been debating the durango swap. Any ideas/advice? Does this sound like a failing steering box or something else? Thank you

Get a helper,get under the front.Have him turn the wheel back-and-forth and put your hands-on things. Something is gonna vibrate or otherwise let itself be known.
