Hey guys, i have an 05 v6 4x4 with a superlift, i have this insane poping noise from the front end. it started after i had some serious suspension/ bushing sqeeking and sprayed everything with WD40.
it happens when taking off from a stop, accelerating, and turning. it is most noticeable when stopping/ accelerating quickly.
so my first thought was lower ball joints i stuck a bar under the tires and they had a little play so i went ahead and borrowed a press and changed them (with moog) i also inspected/ lubed everything while i was in there and it all looked ok. the noise was gone for about 50 miles and then came back just the same, if not worse.
now im kinda thinking its a cv joint. or possibly my front drive (still stock) shaft but that wouldnt explain it popping when turning.
im uploading a quick video to youtube once it posts ill link it here.
at this point im ready to straight axle this bitch
