Title: Cool popping noise in axles?
Post by: rubberducky on June 17, 2009, 11:41:44 AM
Whenever I hit the breaks hard or accelerate hard there is a pretty safe sounding pop coming from both axles. Its not the gears. anyone had this happen to them. I'm thinking since i have 105k (05 tj) on it that all the bushings need to e replaced. I know they are bad enough where the axles can flex. What do yall think.

Replace the bushings and see if it still makes noise

Have you loosened the U-Bolts at all?  After I put my axles back on, they start popping (typically when trning at low speeds) after a while and they just need to be retightened back to specs after afew hundred mils...

U-bolts are fine, There is play in sway bar, but its more of a metal sound. I know the bushings are all shot though. I'm kinda hoping it was something else.  Another question do yall know where I could get a complete set of drive train bushings. Next question what would the price be for them and how much more would it be for a four or so inch lift.  And then what do yall think is the best cheapest axle upgrade. (My heep needs a good transplant) I have a 86 burban with 44's front and rear. I may part that out not sure though. Any Idea how much some one would charge to weld up the suspension pieces. The jeep is used as a truck now, I am going to fix up our ranch truck and drive it as soon as I find a job so the jeep will become a toy with 105k on it. I do not do any heavy off-roading with it yet, I just use it at the hunting lease and minor rock crawling. I would like to slap that a turbo and bigger lift and axles. Any ideas, suggestions, comments. All of this will have to wait until I find a job, I just graduated from college, and let me say this economy rocks.
