Does anyone know what it might mean when I turn my 95' 4runner all the way to the right and I hear a sort of popping noise?? Im not sure if it does it when you turn the opposite direction. Please give me input yall!

I'm new to Toyota trucks and have only had mine for a few months now, but from your description I would suspect a worn ball joint or tie rod.

Make sure your hubs are dissengadged (if applicable). Make sure you hit all your grease zerks before shaking down the front end. After that I'd check your controll arm bushings.

It should also do the same thing if you turn the wheel all the way to the left.
What you are hearing is the bumpstops scraping each other. When your 4runner (and mine) came from the factory, they had little plastic covers on the bumpstops. Those quickly fall off and then you hear that wonderful screaching sound.
Really the only thing you can do about it is put some grease on your bumpstops.
You can pretty much read everything I just told you in the FAQ section. Scroll down to #11.
