My jeep just started doin this poppin noice like something is loose in the front sounds kinda like its comin from the Steering Box.Its a 93 with 4.5 rough country lift with no drop pitman arm.It only does it when in four wheel drive like if I gas on it you can feel it jerk/Pop.

 

With it doing it in 4x4 my first guess would be ujoints, either on the front ds, or the axle shafts.

Do you hear any of that in 2wd on tight turns?

 

I have bad axle shaft u joints and it does it all the time. You not in 4WD on dry pavement are you ?

 

No I checked em there good. Something feels like its moving the whole front axle back kinda I guess

 

heim joint?

 

Heim joint?

 

Ive read stuff saying it could be a bushing thats messed up and metal is just hitting metal when under pressure.

 

its on the track bar mounted to the frame

 

check your track bar, i had mine loosen up and pop when i turned at all. it didnt feel loose but i had someone turn the wheel while i looked at stuff. i could see it just slightly move

 

Alright I think not having a drop pitman arm is putting stress on it.

 

T B issue no doubt

 

If you don't have a P A how do you steer? Do you run full hydro? Just wondering sounded odd.

 

Ok get in the woods (with a buddy if you are over 2 miles) and beat the dog ***** out of it when it breaks replace it

 

lol that costs too much I'll just tighten everything. I have the stock pitman arm it justs puts the steering at a goofy angle and my steering wheel is turned at 3 o clock, instead of 12 when the tires are straight .
