1999 front end pops???

[oknik123]

Hello,

I have a 1999 Chevy Tahoe. My problem is that when ever I turn sharply to the left OR right, the front end pops loudly. I'm not sure what the problem is. Could it be stuck in four-wheel-drive? The truck did sit for about a year until I put a rebuilt motor in it. It did not do the popping noise when it was running good. I saw a lot of forums about clicking noises but none about popping noises when turning left or right. Also when turning left or right, when it pops it feels like something is binding up. It feels as if the truck hesitates and THEN it wants to go. My Tahoe has an 11" lift and 35" tires.

Does anyone have any ideas????

first inspect the front end off the ground for loose parts and then check the axles for torn boots that may indicate possible joint problems.

Anything else you can think of?

what kind of lift are you running?

make sure everything is greased up good, mine does it about every six months, about the time when you should grease the front end anyways, especially the ball joints!
