hey guys, ive noticed when im turning, going kind of slow...like into my driveway or out of aparking lot or something, that there is this faint popping noise coming from the front..and it seems like i can almsot feel it in the steering wheel. its not really loud..but u can hear it. i just had new ball joints and u joints and shocks put on. some im wondering if its my u joints that need to be replaced? any ideas?

 

which u-joints did you have replaced? axle or front drive shaft?

often, clicking when turning is axle u-joints.
could be just brakes ticking.
jack it up and check everything for play

 

im pretty sure i had all u-joints in the front replaced...

 

my brakes started making a clicking noise after i put some new pads on. it does it when i stop, then won't do it again till i either backup and stop or ride for a little bit and stop again. it seems like the pads are shifting a little bit.

 

no, its not in the breaks...because i dont have the breaks on. its when im turning slow or going slow of bumps or somethin. i can barely feel it tin the steering wheel, and barely hear it. i wanna take it to a mechaninc sometime soon, but i was just wondering if you guys had any ideas so i could get an idea.

 

hey i was talking to some guy at work and he mentioned something about the steering knuckle in the wheel mite be worn, making a popping, clicking noise?what do you guys think?

 

I think you have a bad ujoint or two. And I think your friend at work needs to replace his knuckle!

 

haha, i dont see how man, i just replaced my u-joints

 

u joints may not have the c clips seated all the way in a cap or two and they popped out. or the ball joints might not be tightened to the proper torque. or the top of the shocks could be loose and the shocks stud is hitting the shock tower.

 

ok i noticed something when takign the side steps off my truck....THERE IS THIS THICK OIL LEAKING OUT OF MY FRONT AXEL!!!!! I JUST HAD THE BALL JOINTS AND U-JOINTS REPLACED. my truck sits outside.well the last couple days i have put it in teh garage to do soem work..and i noticed a puddle of thick oil under the right axel. i looked at there is this thick oil dripping off my u-joint. i dotn know if they didnt seal it rigth or soemthing? i never noticed it before. im calling up my mechanic and tellin them they didnt put somethin on right. kind of pisses me off. anyway..i appreciate all your guys's responses. keep em comin. thanks
