Popping Noise While Turning...


Recommended Posts

well like the title says, i have a strange popping noise while turning the wheel, i stripped the front tires looking for an answer maybe somewhere in the shock mounts... couldn't find anything... its not my shocks over extending because if i put it in drive and turn the wheels all the way left and right in place it still does it.. i have turned up my tb's and i do have Nerf bars i heard people blaming both of those for the problem but i feel it in the steering wheel.. what could this be? I've torn apart the front end for answers but still cant seem to find it...

 

 

gimme your thoughts or first hand experience with this problem.. it will be greatly appreciated..

 

its really starting to concern me.. :rollin:

it does pop pretty much all the time whether or not its turned totally or just a little... even just coming up the driveway and adjusting a little left or a little right it pops... i had my dad test drive it and he said he doesn't notice it ... but could this be because he puts the steering wheel to the highest level... i have it at the lowest... and i feel it... ?

Condition

Some customers may comment on a clunk-type noise coming from under the hood that also can be felt in the steering wheel. These conditions may be more noticeable when turning at low speeds on rough road surfaces.

 

Diagnostic Tips

Use the information below to help diagnose the source of the noise.

 

• Frame Snap and/or Popping Type Noise -- A frame snap or popping type noise can be duplicated on rough or smooth road surfaces with steering wheel input to the left or the right. This type of noise can be HEARD and is typically louder with the windows rolled down. For additional information, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-08-61-002F or newer -- Snap/Popping Type Noise Coming from Front of Vehicle (Remove Front Crossmember, Change Fastener Orientation).

 

• Intermediate Shaft Clunk -- Intermediate shaft clunk is heard and FELT in the steering wheel and/or steering column area, typically while driving on rough road surfaces with steering wheel input.

 

Correction:

 

Replace the I-Shaft with P/N 19153614.

Do NOT lubricate or exercise the I-Shaft.

 

 

Important:

 

• I-shaft P/N 19155614 has been designed to replace previous designed dampened and non-dampened I-shafts. The physical difference in the yoke size will accommodate all vehicles listed in this bulletin.

 

• Due to the design of the new I-shaft, it is not possible to lubricate/grease the I-shaft.
