hey guys this is really stuping me, i cant figure it out at all. I have a 93 4WD Sport and i have a popping sound coming from the front. It alwasys happens when i turn the wheel, both ways it wil go "pop pop pop pop" whenim just sitting still and turning like in a prking lot or something and whenever i hit bumps, it sometimes will "pop" just once. It feels like it is coming form the drivers side or maybe both sides. anyways i put in new ball joints a couple weeks ago on the drivers side. I was thinking thsat this was the problem because they are the only component on the vehicle that supports weight (explaining pop during bump in the road) and turns (pop while turning) with the wheels. whenever I was putting in the ball joints i acidentaly cooked the grease out of the lower one with the torch, (i was really rushing it) and forgot to regrease it when i was finished so now its dry. i guess that couls stil be a problem but the old Ball joint was BEAT (233,000 miles will do that to a ball joint) and the noise hasnt changed at all. i guess im gonna gafta do the passesnger side soon but any other ideas? thanks guys-Aaron PS
