creaking noise. Have picture- please help
Hi everyone- I had my trackbar replaced (among other things) on my 93 zj. Ever since, there's a creaking/popping/groaning noise when I turn left and right (stopped or moving). I got under the jeep and the piece pictured here:

The top part that connects to the car moves a bit when the steering wheel is turned. I think this is what is making the noise. Can anyone tell me if this part is supposed to move or flex when the wheel is turned? Do I just need to tighten it?

Thanks!

Definately tighten it, if you were any taller, I bet you would be having Death Wobble from it if it's moving. Those have to be Uber tight!!!
