i had that problem it was my u joints

 

were gunna first grease everything and see if it goes away

 

Not to hijack but....Mine does the same thing except it's been narrowed down to the steering linkage where it exits the fire wall and goes down to the gear box. Anyone have tips on replacing?

 

In order to find out what was "popping" on mine, i had someone start-up my XJ and turn the Steering Wheel back and forth to make it "pop", while i got under there and listened.

It only took just a few seconds to "see" what it was.

Replaced the Track Bar and my Cherokee is good as new!!!

 

x2.... track bar as well

 

I say it's a rubbing issue

 

Already done all of that, on mine it's where the linkage exits the firewall and goes to the steering box. That top u - joint in the linkage is what's popping. How do I go about replacing that linkage?

 

mine would pop and clunk when I turned left or right,mine was the trac bar mount on the frame.Replaced the bolts with bigger better hardware,its all good now.

 

I really don't know about this one.

Sorry that i can't be of any help!

 

It's alright. It's just I'm fairly mechanically inclined so when I have a problem I go through all of the "baby steps" if you will. But I already checked trac bar mount and that's fine. I tried searching, but figured since this was a similar thread I just might get the answers here.
