Ok im running carli's 2.0 kit and carli's ball joints. When im turning left while backing up i get a cracking noise. Doesn't matter if im in 2wd or 4wd. The noise was there before but i thought it was just the old ball joints. Well i put in new carli's and new wheel bearings and the crack is still there. It will also do it in forward if i crank really hard to the left while going slow. Any idea's what to look for? Doesnt seem to happen while turning right or maybe i just dont hear it.

 

Anybody suggest what to look for? When i left the house this morning - 20 C, I noticed the cracking sound was alot worse being frozen, seemed to do it more often and louder.

 

Have you tried having someone else turn the wheel while you get up close to it to see if you can narrow it down more? I know my truck was doing that for a while ... Ended up being the tie rod end was starting to get stripped and the tie-rod itself was actually moving and skipping a thred in there
