popping noise when turning left and accelerating
Ok so I have a 00' xj with just a 3 inch lift and 31s, while making a left turn ill hear and feel a popping/banging noise on the floor boards. Also does this while I accelerate from a complete stop but it eventually stops. Anyone have any ideas?! Its driving me nuts

For the popping noise, go ahead and tighten the track bar BRACKET to frame rail bolts.

I replaced the ball joints, hubs, u joints, lower control arms, upgraded the tie rod, tie rod ends, track bar, steering stabilizer and sway bar links and bushing. And it is still making this banging knocking noise. I am able to twist the u joint back and forth on the front drive shaft. Not sure if that is normal or not. Still can't figure it out

I'm experiencing a popping when turning left also. I tracked it down to the right axle mounted upper control arm bushing. The bracket got tweaked enough to unseat the bushing and now I get noise. Some Johnny joints are on my list to fix it.
