Loud front end poping sound

but then again you said you have a completely rebuilt front end
 






I also am having a problem. A loud Pop/clunk noise comming from drv side front wheel, but only in 4x4... I have 3" body lift (plus stock bushings. i know i know lol) and running 31x10.5-15 (with room to spare)... I belive it is my Auto hubs not engaging fully, popping in and out of 4x4. im not to sure. it just started doing it and I need an elignment soon. anyone have any ideas?

sorry - 31x10.5
 






I think its the U-joint binding when you are close to full steer lock in 4wd. I had that sound even after rebuilding everything in my front end.

Could also be hubs
 






I just got an alignment and still have the popping occasionally, in 2wd. I will be installing a lift with long arms and new bushings this spring so I will see if the sound goes away after that. I hate that sound.

I do have old front Ujoints but I don't think they would be doing much of anything in 2wd.
