i have an extremley anoying problem somewhere in my rear drivetrain, its poping at random moments when the vehicle seems to shift or turn. ive replaced the viscous coupler that ran me 330 bucks, didnt help at all. im almost sure it has something to do with my (limited slip) dana 35 rear end, mabye i didnt put the right oil in it or something, what could cause this... i would appreciate any help!

Check the sway bar bushings and attaching points.

That was the cause when I had the same issue on my '97 ZJ.

well i took a look at it and i can tell the whole thing is not aligned right, i would either need a longer swaybar or a extension welded on the stock (axle) mount.. what i wanted to do was take OFF the sway bar and see if it goes away, i just need to know if the bracket that holes the swaybar to the frame has the nut welded to the frame, mines completly rusted out and i can tell.
