MancheKid86 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 if all else fails, try replacing the shimmable lca frame brackets ( inside removable ones) like i stated above, they get worn out after a while, making the lca bolt slap back and forth 1/8th of an inch or more, and will only notice underload if you can't get the track bar bracket tight enough, ive seen members weld it too the frame
MancheKid86 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 100 replies and it's still popping. :doh: :agree: :rotf:
yxmj Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 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? Redwolf Ok....... one last thought Can you list or post a picture of the type of rims and tires you have on the front (the size of the tire and the rim)........ and do you have any lift (a picture would be great....but a complete description would help)

Blue88Comanche Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 That size tire should not be rubbing anything.
cruiser54 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Mr 100 plus posts? Sketchy info? Poor listener? Black cloud?
yxmj Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 That size tire should not be rubbing anything. Yea that was my last guess......should not be......but it would depend on the back set of the rim.....just a thought :dunno:
jimoshel Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 That was me, before I took Dale Carnegie's course on 'How to win friends and influence people'. ;)
redwolf624 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 it's not rubbin, i take my mj in for an alingment friday, i'll have my buddy check it over, Redwolf
cruiser54 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Probably shoulda done that about 115 posts or so ago............
MancheKid86 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 don't forget to check your blinker fluid, this level or higher is aceptable
cruiser54 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 don't forget to check your blinker fluid, this level or higher is aceptable Mechanic is gonna do that as a matter of course in his alignment procedure. We don't want another 100 plus post thread!!!!!!!
Usamedic Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Ruthless bastards! I love it.Gonna go try tightening my track bar, that damn pop is killing me.

Lee21490 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 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 Update; My pop turned out to be the Upper control arm bushing, The axle side one. Pressed it out of the axle, Put in a new one & Pop went away.
