Re: Popping noise when turning
HOW DO YOU KNOW THE U-JOINT IS GOOD?
You need to take the axleshaft out, and you may as well replace the joint since the axle is out. The joints only cost about $10, maybe $15, so you may as well do them while the front end is taken apart. Another thing to be looking for is a worn control arm and/or track bar bushing(s). This would not make a "popping" sound though, so we might be missing an obvious problem because your word choice is throwing us off. Given your description, the usual suspect is the u-joint. PS I doubt that Mopar is a better part than ValueCraft.

Re: Popping noise when turning
OK I took everything apart and put it back together. No difference.
Then I swapped out the new hub with a more expensive one, and the problem went away. I guess China doesn't know how to make 'em. Thanks for everyone's help! |

You had a bad out of the box hub that would have failed, likely in a bad way if the bearing blew out.
