    Getting this popping sound coming from the front end when turning going forward and in reverse not in full turn. I was told it's tie rod ends worn out. Anyone have any insight on this and if so what does everyone recommend. I have the Eibach pro lift kit with OME HD rear leaf springs. Lower control arms are brand new moog with greaseable joints.

    Jack the front end off the ground. I would start by looking at your upper ball joint and UCA assembly, then the tie rods and steering box, after that, the CVs. Move things around by hand and see if anything is loose. Is the lift new, or has it been on a while?

    Lift is new and the lower control arms haven't even been on three weeks yet. So I would assume it would be tie rod ends is what a buddy of mine was telling me that works at Toyota. But I will get it on a jack this weekend and start inspecting everything and see what is loose

    Try re-torquing your lower control arms to spec, first.
