    same thing! i feel it when completing a turn, i thought it was maybe the tie rods but its not, i feel it in the steering wheel. i also feel like i feel something moving around then im turning over a speed bump.

    edit. i have no sway bar.

    For those of you with that popping sound, derrick had the same noise and noticed his tie rods were connected to the spindle upside down. Make sure yours are attached to the spindle opposite from stock.

    Nope. Rides great. Haven't had any problems. When we put the hubs back on, we torqued the bolts incredibly hard. I'd check if yours are loose.
