sloride Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Have you looked at the driver's side engine mount? I had a Chevy Nova that did the exact same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwolf624 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 yes and it's not just when i turn the wheels all the way to the left anymore, it's when i get to full lock both ways now.... Redwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Seems your MJ needs a good dose of "noggin pokin'". That's where you have someone turn the wheels from lock to lock while you poke your noggin underneath and listen to.find the pop noise. Here's an inspiring quote from a guy named chipmaker: Chipmaker says: “Way more problems get solved by using your five senses under your hood rather than your ten fingers on a keyboard” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwolf624 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 poppin is gone when i got wheel lock to wheel lock (don't know how it went away on it's own) but now i have it when i make a turn and the truck flexs a little, could it be the shock or coil springs? i know it's somethin that's up front and suspention related, Redwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxmj Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 If you have "FLEX" now and not before.....Whatever was "POPPING" is now BROKE..... Try this.....you will need a helper a jack and 2 jack stands. 1) With the helper behind the wheel, lay under the front of the truck on the passenger side and have your helper turn the wheel from full lock to full lock 4 times.....Watch look and listen for broken hanging pieces....listen for noises like popping or rubbing or grinding 2) Go under the drivers side and do the same thing 3)Block the back wheels and jack the front of the truck up and put your jack stands UNDER THE FRAME so that the front end hangs un-sprung 4) repeat steps 1 and 2 Report Back with you findings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yxmj Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 It was -50 C yesterday.....that is -58 F in your language.....we laid under the truck in the drive and replaced the CPS (bare handed) and gave it an oil change (had to run the motor for awhile to get the oil to flow). You can't have it worse than that........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee21490 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Go start your truck and turn your wheel from lock to lock. If it pops or you feel a bump. 5 bucks says its a control arm bushing... Mines done this for as long as i've owned it. Never really payed it much attention because i've never been able to actually pin-point it. Never really thought the control arms would be making the noise, I'll have to give them a check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines done this for as long as i've owned it. Never really payed it much attention because i've never been able to actually pin-point it. Never really thought the control arms would be making the noise, I'll have to give them a check I replaced all my control arms a little more than a year and a half ago. For the last six months I've had a 'rattle', sounds and feels like the passenger UCA. Only happens when I drive over ripples in the road. When I can afford it I'll replace them all again.

MancheKid86 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 i had an issue where death wobble wallowed out the lca holes on the frame side,so that shimmable bracket was an egg and would pop back and forth while turning left,and i have to laugh,on the first page you assured them you tightened the bolts, then turns out it was loosewhen it rains, i take a tarp and put it over me and the truck, and sit under the tarp with a lamp,thermal coveralls when its cold and snowing :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwolf624 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 went through the whole front in with wrench in hand, tighted everything i could see, jacked the truck up and put it on jack stands on the axle and the frame, did as instructed above and could not find anything hittin, could not pin point the noise the one time it happened, it's a hit or miss thing, nothin seems broken, any other ideas?
