Front End Popping Noise
My truck has developed a popping noise, or more of a "POW" when turning at low speed. The noise is coming from the front end somewhere. It just started 3 or 4 days ago. The noise usually comes when the steering wheel is turned almost all the way. I lifted my truck and shook the tires top and bottom, no movement. Checked all the links, all seem tight. Any suggestions?

on my control arms i have had to go back and tighten them a couple times but the noise comes more when stopping. check the bolts on the trac bar and make sure that they are goodentight!

Checked all bolts and they are tight. I moved the wheel and didn't see any binding in the U-Joint. Still perplexed. Guess I need to wait for it to fail more before finding out.

i bet its your track bar. do a dry park test. get someone to wiggle the steering wheel on dry ground slowly back and forth (not a lot) just enough so the wheels thinking about moving and then look at the track bar and i bet its moving at one of the joints. they go all the time.
