Well i have been with this problem for awhile now it is really beginning to **** me off. described as popping mostly during take off and strong swooping left turns. well today i went under my jeep in the parking lot at school and shook every last thing i could here is what i got to say please respond if it could be the culprit

Right lower control arm wiggles back and forth slightly (turning motion)

Exhaust kind of close to underbody side rail

bearings at entrance of front differential bad causing slight wiggle

small squeak when pushing up on transfer case

 

any suggestions

 

anyone

 

How are your motor mounts? The torquing of the engine could be banging the exhaust into the frame rail. Is it just on loud pop? Or multiple pops? That loose lca could definitely make some noise too.

 

multiple pops when i start out i move two feet them pop pop pop pop pop then goes away if i start then turn left it pops the whole length of the turn

 

If you get under there and jam the exhaust into the frame rail, is it the same noise? Easy way to rule it out.

 

will do when i checked it it was too hot will check tomorrow will any of the other things cause it

 

I have the exact same noise!!! I still haven't found it! I replaced wheel hubs and everything, I think its my motor or tans mounts on a slight hill tilting the vehicle to the right I can hear it constantly, but if I hold my shifter to the left or right it stops

 

Yup

 

You recommend checking the engine mounts

 

Yeah check the engine and tranny mounts. The squeak when you push up on the TC may point to a bad tranny mount. Could also be a million other things though.... Hah

 

check u joints on axle and driveshaft

 

popping doesnt really sound like exhaust slapping the rail. so probably not the issue

 

can you feel the pop in the steering wheel?

 

It seems we have similar issues im going to check my tranny mounts because when I hold the shifter ( 5spd) it stops, back to his is it a pop or a thud ? I made a video of it ill post when I get home
