Popping noise in front end: '98 TJ

'98 TJ 6 cyl: I'm hearing a loud popping noise in the front end when
the jeep suspension is torked, like when going up a drive way crooked,
or making a tight turn causing the front end to sway away from the turn.
Happens in both directions. Its not anything with the stearing gear
box because at a stand still, when I turn the wheel in either direction
I get no sound. Only happens, it seems, when the frame is twisted. Any
ideas?

It's not clunking on bumps? I'm about to drop my '97 off at the
shop for annoying clunks on turns and bumps and I don't like the
sounds it's making!

Check the U-joints at the steering knuckles. A wisp of rust at the
rubber boot means a toasted joint.

I had a similar issue but the culprit was my rubber on my front
trackbar. But since you get no sound at a stand still movint the
steering wheel it probably isnt it. Worth a shot, to just get under
there and look. Grab a hold of the track bar and shake the crap out
of it and see if you can produce the noise.

JA,

Some of us have been around these groups for a number of years. For me, it is
alt.binaries.pictures.autos and I've followed that group for around five
years. Hughes posted there for that long or more. During that entire period
he was extraordinarily disruptive. You've read here the kinds of things he
did.

A.b.p.a. is a car photo group. That's how you contribute there like jeep
postings are how you contribute here. Hughes never posted a single picture
except a few family photos. But he did post many, perhaps more than a
thousand, posts insulting the other members of that group. That's all he ever
did. Before he was booted off, he resorted to flooding the group with the
same long rant, sometimes hundreds of times daily, over and over. If you had
endured it you would understand why he is not respected nor welcome there nor
here.

It's not a question of his jeep knowledge or fairness. Hughes has caused
himself to be unwelcome no matter what and where he posts. You know there
must be good reason before someone is formally restrained from posting. ISPs
do not do that without very good cause. It is not possible to believe that
all of a sudden Hughes is deserving of respect.

You asked a legitimate question and this is a straight forward and honest
answer. In a respectful manner I suggest you might want to rethink your
support of him. To everyone else you are not just supporting him; you are
also supporting his past indefensible behavior.

This is the Jeep group not ABPA. I don't care what Hughes did in ABPA. If
Cujo DeSockpuppet and Pink Freud are representative of the types who post
there, I really don't care. Read my lips. I don't care. It's nothing
personal, but anyone who mentions ABPA in this discussion group goes in my
kill file.
