I have had this click/popping sound that comes from the front passenger side of my car when I jack it up when the suspension is settled. I have also heard it before when I hit bumps on the road. I have recently replaced all wearable parts in the front suspension and yet I jack the car up and the click/pop sound is there. It's just one decently loud click/pop sound and that its. Im confused I have replaced LCA bushing, balljoints, tie rods, etc... It almost sounds like its coming from the k-member??? not sure what to think. ANY advice is appreciated. Thanks guys.

 

anyone ever have this problem or can give me some advice ?? Thanks again.

 

Check the bolts to the shock at the spindle. They sometimes get loose. Should be torqued at 200lbs.

 

Ill double check but I dont think that is it. I have rebuilt the front suspension essentially and everything was torqued to spec. I havent even ran it on the street for somethign to loosen up so thats why im confused about the situation. I dont know what I am overlooking.

 

Put a jack stand under the cradle then take the tire off. Jack the A-arm and watch where the shock and spindle mount. You'll see it jump. The popping is when under a load, the spindle will "pop" in one or more grove and when the load is relaxed, it pops out.

 

Ill give this a try but the only thing is I get a pop when I jack the car up but not a second pop when it comes back down. Ill still check it out and see. Thanks again and if anyone else has still had this problem let me know.
