i have a 94 pickup 4x4 3.0 v6 5 speed it has a 3 inch lift and 33's. everytime i turn sharp it has a really loud popping/creaking sound coming from the front end. doesnt matter if the hubs are locked in or not. i checked the cv's and they seem fine. any ideas would be appreciated. thanks

 

Are your tires rubbing and catching?

 

try greasing the turn stops. they are in the front and back of the lower a-frame.

 

That would be the bumpstops if by sharply you mean to full lock. its normal. not much you can do besides grease them or spend the money on new plastic caps from the dealer. Get used to it Be proud you can scare the crap out of that biker gang when turning into a parking spot

 

my brother had a lifter toy that did the same thing. it never really hurt anything.

 

Check out the upper ball joints, probably need grease or replaced.

 

toyota4x4907- yeah its a real head turner im glad its nothin major beacuse right now everything i own is broke so the wheelin rig is my daily driver.....lucky me
and thanks everybody else for the input

 

It could be a loose sway bar or worn out sway bar bushings also.

 

okay well ill check it out tomorrow after work the tractor is hoggin up my garage space at the moment hopefully its nothin major

 

Oops, meant steering stops, not bump stops.

Heres what they look like:


Its a Toyota thing
