Usually I'm pretty good at figuring this stuff out, but this has me stumped. There's a popping noise coming from the front end of my 95. We've checked over all of the steering components (and pretty much everything else up there for that matter) and can't find the issue. It only happens when turning the steering wheel (hence checking all steering components) and it's now getting progressively worse. Any thoughts?
I've probably left some sort of important information out, so feel free to ask any questions

ball joints or axle u joints

watch every moving part in the steering from underneath, you might have to hold on to the linkage as someone turns it , try that ok

yanking on parts to check for play never fails...
also, any front end work recently? lift?

jeepgrlxj

Yeah, nothing seems loose at all.
I'll have to check the ball joints and u joints. I've dealt with both of those things before though, this noise is just different. But it doesn't hurt to check again

And no work recently. It's got an 8" on it, but it's been on there for almost a year now.

check your power steering box bolts. Mine made a poping sound when turning i checked everything i could think of. then one day the steering box broke loose and then you have no steering.

jeepgrlxj

Yeah..that's been done. Have a PSC steering box in there, it's the best thing ever. Pretty sure that's one of the first things that was checked though :/

retreaded jeeper
