Hey Guys,

I just bought a 89 XJ and had the upper and lower ball joints and track bar replaced (DW Problem) and I am still having a popping sound when I turn the wheels. Also when I accelerate and brake hard it pops as well. any suggestions would be great.

You did check the front axle u-joints while the ball joints were replaced, didn't you? That is where I would start looking, unless you already checked them out.

Check your TRE's and double check trackbar. Sometime steering boxes also pop when heavily worn out.
