cruiser54 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 You could have someone turn the steering wheel while you watch from underneath. But something you rarely SEE but makes a popping noise is the track bar bracket to frame bolts need to be tightened up. I'd start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 yup, I'd start with looking at the track bar. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mxdiesel Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I started replacing everthing in my front end to eliminate a clunk. I was convinced it had to be a control arm bushing, turned out to be a u-joint with no grease left in the caps. If your track bar is old replace it anyways, but check tie rod ends and the frame bracket for track bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my86mj Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 it has a new track bar but my dad is the one who installed it so its possible the bolts may have backed off. ill check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Chief Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Could be the track bar bracket itself, could have rounded out like mine is. Just haven't had time to buy a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
