Hi y'all, I am bone stock and about to hit 180k miles. Recently on a road trip I noticed that if I am at full lock I will get a single pop from the right front side. I am having a hard time to get it to do it continuously which is why it's hard to diagnose. A lot of front end stuff has been replaced about 10k miles ago, like the tie rod ends, drag link, track bar, sway bar bushings, sway bar end links and last I checked control arm bushings look okay. Ball joints, wheel bearings, and front axle u joints are still original, which is why I'm suspecting them. Everything I installed seems tight still but I'm going to go give everything a retorque today maybe just to rule it out.
Also, it doesn't seem to matter if I'm moving or not. If I turn hard in either direction till I hit full lock I get the pop from the passenger front side regardless of whether the Jeep is in motion. So what do you guys think? I wish I could consistently replicate it so I could get a video... Am I right to suspect wheel axle U joints because they are still original?
