So after I installed my lift I was getting some dl vibes. Crawled underneath and twisted my front ds a couple times and clearly saw the passenger side axle u-joint was busted. I replaced it and all went well. Now I am getting another popping sound that sounds just like a u-joint. But this one I only get while turning. I crawled underneath to wiggle components but nothing budged.

I read up on this thread and didn't really get too much help from it. The op was getting his pops going in reverse and such. Which I am only getting them on turns. Any advice would be awesome. I should probably mention this but I am running with out a front sway bar. (waiting for parts to come in to build quick discos).

i had same thing when i installed my rustys 4.5" short arm kit mine ended up being loose track bar

That actually sounds like it could be my problem. Did you re-use the same but on the back end of it? I used a new one and I probably wasn't able to torque it down all the way.

I had a new rustys trac bar with my kit my jam nut came loose and I forgot to tighten the bolt all way where it meets the axel tighten them all up popping noise went away

I take it that this is the jam nut? Fortunately for me I kept it. But I just have a regular nut on the back end of there. When I go to adjust the track bar I'll throw this one in and hope it cures my woes.
