Popping Noise Turning Right
If I turn to the right slightly I can hear a single pop and It feels almost like the floor buckles under my feet. It only happens under about 30mph, and it is intermittent. If I'm stopped, it turns perfectly fine. It's really weird. Other than that, the jeep drives fine. No other noises on acceleration or anything. Can anyone help me?

Wheel is fine, I just checked it. It did it once when I was stopped now. It does it on pavement, not on gravel or dirt. Something is binding somewhere and I can't see where.

Just take a gander and make sure those rod's dont turn or wiggle. Also that pop could be ur Coil spring if its warped at all.. if its lifted too ur angle on ur front axle could be off putting off afew things. personally id go under the rid turn the wheel and see what movements play around. im redneck soo hell id have someone drive slow with me hanging on. just few feet haha!

As crazy as this sounds check calipers! I just fixed mine that was causing the same noise!!!
Caliper binds up axle shaft then POP then it's fine till it comes back around. Odd I know but check it!!! I was shocked!

I'll have to check underneath again then. It didn't seem like anything moved around much. And to The87XJ, I actually had that idea too. haha. Just a few feet won't hurt. Also, it's at stock height. No cash for a lift yet :/

Same thing
I have the same thing happen, but only in warm weather!! I have no idea what it is, but after I install my RC 4.5" lift, hopefully it will be a thing of the past. Good luck!
