Hello everyone,

I have a 1997 XJ with a Rough Country 4.5" lift on 31" tires also installed Rough Country heavy duty adjustable track bar along with a steering stabilizer.

The issue I'm having is every time I go over a bump or like a driveway entrance the front right side of the XJ makes a decently loud pop/bang sound. I checked and re torque all of my components and still no improvements. My next guess is ball joints? Thanks for listening.

I would also think ball joints good start but check the spring locks at the bottom as well. Does it drive down the road fine?

Maybe double check the track bar tie rod end as well sometimes they wear out or go bad even if new

most likely it’s your upper control arms.
