Hey all, I never really post on forums i mainly use them for information but I really need some help. My truck is making a popping noise right under my feet when I turn left but not when I turn right. It is also grinding so bad that I am embarrassed to drive it even with tinted windows. Here is everything that I have had replaced today.

hub assy.
front brakes and rotors
the drive shaft coming out of the transfer case
steering rack

What else could it be? I am thinking it could be the driveshaft or transfer case. Also what else can I do to trouble shoot it.

 

does it sound like a metal on metal grinding......

Or a Rubber on body grinding??

 

It sounds like a metal on metal sound. Also it doesnt do it right away it takes it a little to start but when it does it is bad.

 

wheel bearings???

 

I replaced the full hub assembly. This included the wheel bearings

 

hmmmmmmmmmm.... Damn i wish i could hear it.

 

Well I know that the problem has to be from the transfer case back because i have replaced everything that spins from the transfer case to the tire.

 

What about front CV joints. I've had several go bad and it starts out making noise only when you turn.

 

I had some random popping sounds from under my dodge and it turned out to be the U-Joint. One side had all the needle bearings wiped... it looked horrible

 

Was this on a 4X4 because I think it might be the front u joints. That honestly sounds like the problem. How would i go about checking them out without removing the drive shaft
