Default Popping noise

Hey guys I had recently put a lift on my 2001 Xj. I put 3.5 RE coils on the front and I got bad death wobble. So I bought a adjustable track bar. Got it on took it for a test drive (still get death wobble but not the point right now). Now even if I move my steering wheel just a inch there's a popping noise coming from around my gear box. It doesn't go away with it on or off. Before I put the track bar on it was not as bad couldn't really hear it. Now since I put the track bar on its horrible. Kinda like tiny sharp fast popping noise. Any help will be appreciated

You probably already did this. But I would make sure that everything is tight. Also make sure that nothing is hitting that shouldn't be.

Yea I'm pretty sure everything is tight but I'll go out and double check when I get a chance. It just kinda sounds like the gear box. There was already a noise because I have a tiny crack in the uni body under the gear box but when the wheel is turned the cracks doesn't move and I even put my hand on. But I hope it's not the gear box hopefully just something else. If it is I read that a Durango gear box will bolt straight up and it's a inch bigger piston. I only have 31 tires but it wouldn't hurt just in case I wanna go bigger

Does your trackbar have a bushing a where it bolts to the unibody; or is it a heim joint
