My truck makes a popping sound when I turn the wheel all the way to either side it only happens when I'm straightening it out and it pops 2-3 times when I'm getting it straight I've heard idler arm. Could that cause it?it's a 03 Screw 4x4 244,500 miles.

 

Man. You seem to have a lot of problems with that truck. That sucks.

 

nah it almost has everything fixed and it has no rust just a tiny bit on the doors and some bubbles on the rockers. Plus I need a fancy truck haha I own a detail company and it's gloss black and really shiny and it had $300+ new tires on it so i wouldn't have to end up with junk tires having to replace them in a few months

 

could be the idler or tie rod ends, am leanin towards ball joints though thye usually make popping noises when goin bad

 

okay well i think I'm going to try idler first it's the cheapest and I don't think it requires an alignment afterwards haha

 

ye best to start cheap and work your way up, even if it isnt the idler its prob due for replacing anyways by now

 

yeah haha my dads 03 pops also when turning and his has about 30,000 miles less then mine and he thinks it's the idler.

 

Is it 4×4 check the front cv shafts they will pop when turning

 

ill check those tomorrow I'll check out all the front end parts along with the rear diff heck I might check front diff and transfer case also
