i rebuilt my front end about 4 months ago, and it pops like a b****, anyone know how to get rid of the pops... thanks

 

I can't really answer that question, but mine is the same way. Basically everything in my front end is new except the center link. I even had the (typical) frame crack by the steering box welded and installed a TDS Wonderbar. Maybe there's something else I'm missing, but what else could be causing this popping in our newly rebuilt front ends??

its crazy, i went through and torqued down ever single bolt...still pops...???

 

Mine has SFCs, GW steering brace and all new front end parts - still popped and cracked like a bastard - turns out that the 6 bolts holding the crossmember on to the car were all loose - one was about to fall out - tightened them to 120 and no more noise.

 

Yeah, good call on that, I've read that before on the boards, unfortunately that's not my problem. I had the whole front crossmember out of the car when I put the new engine in and I tightened all the bolts back down to spec and have re-checked them since then and they're all still tight. Good thought though, maybe that's your problem 92rsbowtie? It's definitely worth a look!
