I'm hearing a popping when I turn my wheels left and right, I use to only hear it when it rains. Now it is pretty regular! I have been looking for months now to find out what it is. I don't really notice anything with steering, except at around 60-68mph, the truck kind of vibrates left/right really fast, but nothing like the "death wobble" i hear about! I have a 6in pro comp lift with a 2500 mega cab if that helps any. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

check your tie rod ends and ball joints

 

Yep, tie rods, ball joints, wheel bearings and CV axles if you are a 4wd

 

jack the truck up off the ground so that the front tire doesnt touch the ground, grab the tire and try to turn it left and right like as if you were trying to make the steering wheel turn, if there is any play at all then your tie rods are bad, now do the same thing but goint up and down instead of left to right, if there is any play then your wheel bearing is going out.

 

I had a popping sound when I turned left and it got worse and could feel it in the steering wheel it ended up being the lower control arm sway bar link had a Knuckle that had gone bad on it I got a MOOG part for cheaper than the dealer they don't have grease pivots and it was the one on the driver's side the passenger side is still good for now. that was around 40,000 miles I currently have 93'000 and now problems since.

 

thank you all for all the help. I have been looking for like a month in a half, tried everything all of you had said, and I even took it to a shop. They told me they can't find it, everything is tight and looks good, ball joints and all. and they said bring if back if it gets worse or louder! I guess ill drive till the front end just collapses one day

 

Does it happen just when turning the wheels or when driving and turning the wheels?
