My fiance has a 1998 Chevrolet S-10 4x4 pick-up truck. About 4 months ago, it started making a popping noise occasionally in the drivers side when I or she would turn the wheel side to side. More recently, it has gotten worse, now it does it all the time but only when the truck is rolling or driving. It is currently at Tire Discounters and they are trying to find the source of the problem. I personally looked at the truck with the guy at the shop and could find nothing. The ball joints were replaced back in September of 2011 and they are still good. If anyone has any advice or experience to share it would be appreciated.

 

Any play in the door hinge bushings?

 

Has anyone looked at the control arm bushings?Either the uppers or lowers.

 

Or hubs and cv's?

 

that is what popped in my head, especially when they said turning.

 

I'm really sorry if this is considered off topic but my blaze is jacked up and I need to know the torque on front hub assy axle nut, its a 02 LS,4.3 eng RWD

 

Well guys,this ole dummy learned something today, there is no front axle nut on an RWD, disc brakes all round, felt like an idiot when it dawned on me so thought I better "fess" up before somebody tells me how the cow eats the cabbage

 

I thing what happens after the cow eats cabbage would be alot worse

 

i had a popping sound in the front end, mostly when starting to move from a stop... ended up being a motor mount

 

Cv,or hub , make sure nothing is rubbing when you turn might be something simple like piece of plastic from inner fender
