Okay, so my truck has now decided to make a popping sound in the front end. Its mostly when I go around curves at slow speeds, or turn into, or out of, somewhere (ie: parking lot, driveway, etc.). You can also feel it grind as it makes the noise, as well. I'm about 95% sure its probably the ball joints/tie rods. Anyone else had this problem? Any other ideas?


Truck has 4" suspension lift, 35" Nitto tires, and new traction bar. Not sure if that would have any relevance or not.

 

check all moving parts.
start with axle u-joints and wheel bearings.
then track bar, ball joints, tie rod ends.

all of these things are extended and stressed when you make sharp turns, so that's why it shows up there first.

 

I would look at the Wheel bearings and or U-joints. Soulds as if you have one of them going bad.
