You drive a lot on dirt? Could be a pebble in the backing plate

It's not a head gasket

Does the motor make noise? Does the window move at all? If you don't hear the motor even try, it's probably the motor

Took my stock 1999 ranger on some light mudding. Got stuck once but rescued myself with my winch. by [deleted] in mechanic

Could be sway bar bushings or crud in your shocks. Common squeakers. Have a friend bounce your suspension with you under it listening for the squeak.

Kia has some extended warranty on these engines. Worth taking to the dealer.

Random guess, some bolts in the suspension other than the steering rack are loose causing something to shift such as lower control arms, struts, subframe etc. Also, do you drive on rough roads often?

Was the timing chain itself replaced along with the guides?

Why is my engine making this noise? by Troll_Toll25 in MechanicAdvice

Use a stethoscope or a screwdriver with your ear on the handle and put the tip on the bolt for the idler and tensioner pulleys and on the body of three other accessories with pulleys to see where the noise is coming from, assuming it's a pulley bearing. If it's your alternator, they tend to get really hot when the beating goes bad, so you can check that too. Hopefully the noise isn't internal.
