Default Pop in Steering on First Cold Startup

2016 Lariat FX4 81,000MI

Seems to happen every morning or if the truck has been sitting for a few hours, first time the steering wheel is turned there’s a little pop or clunk felt in the wheel.

Going to climb under there tomorrow, any suggestions on where to start looking?

Both IWEs (FL3Z1104H) were replaced under warrantee about 20k ago.

Check your steering column joints in the engine bay.
