So I recently purchased a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 drove her home (90 miles) no problems well the other day when leaving work I noticed a pop noise when I accelerate from a parking spot while turning right it's a single pop and now recently noticed a single pop every now and then from the front passenger side while going down my drive way around 10mph (gravel driveway) but it's not at all speeds only slow speed and when taking off turning right any ideas would be nice thank you.

 

check the u-joint at the end of the axle on that side.

 

Wouldn't that be a consistent clunk? Since it's always rotating? And what's the best way to check it?

 

I checked all u joints they're all tight any other ideas? Please and thank you

 

Greaseable ball joints? Give 'em some.

Check calipers, make sure they move on their guides.

Front U-joints? Worn, or, dry and stiff?

 

I appreciate that info. My two upper ball joints are grease able the lowers aren't i will buy a grease gun and grease them and check the calipers tomorrow and report back what I find thanks again

 

I greased the upper ball joints and so far the noise is gone. So thanks hey you for the suggestions.

 

Cool! Thanks for letting us know what fixed the problem.
