Should I worry about this noise???

[ctate2]

I have a 1997 explorer xlt 4wd with 4.0L sohc engine. Sometimes when i first start driving it I will hear a single little popping sound in the front suspension, but dont hear it after that. It only happens sometimes when I drive it too. Could there be a bad problem, or is this normal?

I'm pretty sure it's just the drive train engaging when you shift into "Drive" and pull away. My Truck does that sometimes when I back out of the driveway then shift into Drive and pull away. I guess you could make sure all of your tire pressures are equal to minimize it. How many miles are on your truck?

It has only 113,000 miles
