Hello everyone. I have noticed, starting today that I have a slight occasional pop when turning my jeep hard left. I'm pretty sure that it is coming from the passengers side front suspension. It's not a clunk, or a grind, but more a pop, like something is giving. I just replaced both of my sway bar links and in the process I cracked one of the blue bushings by tightening down too much. Do you think this could be the problem? Also I didn't torque anything because I'm fixing to lift and didn't want to do it twice, but I turned everything as tight as I could get it with a large ratchet. Any ideas?

Check your ujoints on the axle.

I was thinking u joints, but I didn't see much if any play in them when I shook the wheel back and forth.

Not sure you would see much play in axle u joints.
For what its worth check your trac bar. The axle hole mount likes to wallow out and cause havoc.

mr white

Not sure how you did that by yourself.

I have a popping noise coming from my sway bar links that do not want to stay tightened down. its very well possible its coming from that.

I rotated the tire... Should have been more clear

When my U-Joint ('s) were bad it would crackel and pop turning hard in 4WD, but not in 2WD.

Mine did it on 2wd on real tight turns and in 4wd on not as tight turns.

So I tried torquing everything I replaced, and I also checked the track bar axle end torque and had to tighten a little bit. I still have my pop. I did discover that it is only when I am rolling, it's perfectly silent when I am sitting still...
