Where is that bracket? I drove it today and it didn't do it at all. It's really odd. I have a feeling it's because of that bracket though.

I have the same exact problem except its when i turn left, i replaced sway bar bushings, u joints and went threw the diff, told my dad about it and he said its just a jeep thing, they all have their own unique sounds, i guess it all goes back to the old saying of its not broken dont fix it

Mine's like a pop, but a "something metal hits the floor" type pop. And cruiser, I'll look at it tomorrow if I get a chance. I have a busy day tomorrow. Field trip to six flags. I have the best high school physics class ever! Bein a nerd pays off.

I really think you all need to tighten up the bracket bolts just cuz. We used to do it during the Pre-Delivery Inspection on the Jeeps to prevent future customer complaints.

And bheath, what's the chapter and verse of the quote in your signature?

I have a pop/clunk too. Moves from front to back sometimes. My solution is to wait till a major issue arises and then I know what it is lol

Slide your hiney under the Jeep and watch/listen for noises as someone else turns the wheel back and forth. Tighten the track bar bracket just cuz.

They do, but I gotta get to bed now. If I do that I'll probably get a total of about 4 hours sleep for an 18 hour day. That won't go to well.
