  • popping noise while steering

    On my zj.

    Ever since I had that midnight excursion resulting in a blown tire, my zj makes a loud popping noise sometimes while making corners. It only does it when making opposite corners, never when I make two left hand or right hand corners in a row if that makes any sense. I can feel it through the steering wheel, and on the ground through my feet like something binds then releases.

    I originally thought it was the trac bar but I didn't really feel any play near the body mount side when I quickly looked at it.

    sounds like trac bar mount frame side. try snugging those bolts up some more.

                    Being unmotivated is the fucking devil.

                    Seriously.

                      X2... do a dry park test, have someone turn the wheel back and forth while your looking at it. Really hard to see freeplay in things by trying to wiggle it with your hands.

                        kinda hard to move the front end of a multi ton vehicle without assistance.
