Post Whores Make Me Sick
So this has been going on for a while and seems to be happening more and more every time I drive the truck.
I've been getting a POP in my front end, sounds like it's coming from the right side. It mostly happens if I crank the wheel hard to the right while driving, like making a turn onto a side street with no stop sign. It only happens when I turn right, not left. It also seems to happen if I'm stopping and slightly turning at the same time, such as coming up on a right hand turn with a stop sign and slowing down while slightly veering off to the right side of the street to make the turn.
The truck had a lift kit put on shortly before I bought it, somewhere around 35k miles ago. So all the components related to a lift kit are obviously new. My first thoughts were radius arm bushing (but that's new with the lift) or a shock bushing (also new with the lift).
Then someone showed me a TSB from Ford that described a creak like mine-- said it can be caused by a build up of tension in the trans crossmember. Fix is to loose the crossmember and jack it up and down, then bolt it back up. So I did that today-- still creaks.
Any ideas?
