....occasional front end pop or knock....A few weeks ago I replaced the sway bar bushings and installed new TRW poly link kits...talking about night and day!! wow!!...For a while I could have sworn that took care of the popping, but it's still there. So any sugestions on doing some inspection and what to do. Afraid something might break while conering or turning...

 

check around the steering box .. they are known to crack around it :\ .. also ball joints can cause a simular noise ..

when does the poping occur? could be something loose and cracked and moving around when stressed..

 

TVP, will take your advice and check out the steering box.

MDFORMULA350, It pops at very slow speed turns ....nearly idle.....I think i'm gonna replace the tie rods next

 

Look t where your steering box is bolted to the frame, if there is a few hair line cracks, have them welded. To prevent this, get a steering brace....aka, wonderbar. BMR, Kenny Brown, and Global West make them, KB is pricey though. Do a search, it will explain the wonderbar for ya, and you can find a few pix of it too.

 

OBTW, if that isnt the problem, then its more than likely your ball joints. My 91 had that problem. After a front end rebuild it was gone.
