So I am hearing a popping noise when turning the wheels from left to right at a stand still, it’s most noticeable, but I do hear it when driving at lower speeds. I usually hear it the most when turning left going to full lock. The sound seems like it’s come from the passenger front steering knuckle area.
A little back story. Took it wheeling a couple weeks ago, drove it home fine and parked it. Drove to the store a week or so later, and that’s when I started hearing it. Took it to work, had a couple of my mechanics look at it. I discovered that the seal on the back of the knuckle was a little loose, tightened the bolts, good as new. However, one of the studs that holds the steering arm onto the bottom of the knuckle, Was sheered off, we used an ez out to get the piece out. I replaced all 4 studs. Put it all back together. Noise is still there.
I bought the truck in October 2019, I relaxed brakes and wheels bearings, and changed the diff fluid. That’s the extent I did with the axles. The truck the stock lockers, front and rear. I installed the OME 3 inch kit and put 35’s on it. Any help would be appreciated to point me in the right direction. I’m thinking a full rebuild of the knuckles on the inside. But I know that’s going to be costly.
help?
