random popping noise

hey guys ive recently been getting a popping noise from what sounds like passenger front.

i have recently replaced the cv on that side. alsoi replaced the worn steering rack bushings, and had my 5100s with 881s adjusted to the second setting to compensate for the added wieght of my bumper and winch not to long ago.

it usually happens over speed bumps and sometimes just driving down the road. my alignment guy thought it was the steering rack bushings but no dice. though it was time to be replaced anyways.

any thought?

 

hmmmm what do you CV angles look like? 881s with the Billys set at 1.5'' should be over 3'' of lift...thats usually a no go in which case its the cv poping..

 

You running a sway bar? Maybe one side popped off or is loose.

 

Stock UCA's? Your upper BJ's are taking a beating.

Thats a lot of lift if they are stock, and a lot even if you had aftermarket UCA's.

Check out all your ball joints and tie rod ends.

 

hey guys sorry it took so long to get an update out. i restarted medic school wednesday, and had ride alongs on saturday so i didnt have a chance to check anything out till this morning...

lonnies the winner, the sway bar nut was loose on the lower stud. so i decided to just take them off. thats the last time i have someone else tighten things down for me with out rechecking it.

retorqued all the bolts for the bj/steering rack/tie rod end and replaced the cotter pin. no more popping noise
thanks for ideas guys

 

Its gives about 3", slightly less after settling. (1.75-2" from the 881s, 1.25" from the billys)
