Greetings, I appear to be having a bit of noise up front as of late. Usually when turning or stopping I hear a loud popping noise in the front end. My first assumption was that my trac bar could be loose, however after tightening both ends down it's still occurring, any suggestions? Here's an idea of what it sounds like:

Possibly ball joints, or axle shaft joints, maybe even a unit bearing

have someone turn the wheel until it does the popping, while its stopped of course. have them do this repeatedly, and while this is happening be looking at the front end components and maybe you'll see whats up.

Tighten your steering box bolts.

Mine did something like that. My control arm bushings were shot. I replaced them and the sound went away. After 5 months they are worn out again. Thanks RC.

Retorque your steering box bolts, and be sure steering shaft from firewall to box is not hitting motor mount assembly at uni-body. Also be sure you dont have damaged sheet metal around the steering box.

Had someone turn it while I looked under it, the castle nut on the pitman arm was so loose I could take it off by hand once I pulled the cotter pin out. -_- Tightened down the steering box and LCAs for good measure as well. Thanks for the replies guys.
