ok, i got the clicking/cracking noise to stop that i posted about a month ago somehow. but now when turning its like it struggles to turn for some reason. its makes multiple poping noises you can hear/feel. does it in rev and forward and sittin still... kinda like what they do in 4wd but its in 2wd. i was thinkn its the PS pump or low flud. the resevoir showes its good. im thinkn that its been goin out slowly but when i put the 33x12.50 it killed it. lol. i do need to replace front steering/susp components and shocks. need the TREs, UCAs, 5100 bilsteins, and eventually breaks.

 

no ideas...

 

My front end was popping.. it was the inner tie rods.. sucks..

 

did it pop in the steering wheel every full turn and sounds like its in a bind when turning going slow? mainly in reverse

 

anyone else?

 

its your tire rod ends. see if you can get a friend under there and see if they can tell if they can hear where its coming from.

 

x2 tie rod ends

 

ok, do yall think its inner, outter, or both? cash aint a prob so im def gonna get moog and most likely gonna get both inner and outter. any idea how to get to the inner TRE bc of the boot and clamp???

 

ya if i was you and money isn't an issue get the the inner and outer ones

 

Sounds kinda like mine when my tie rod ends went out

 

yea, it sucks and is annoying as hell. need new shocks and could use moog UCAs. hell, while im at it why dont i just do a freakin SAS...

 

when you do the inners cut the band on the boot when you go to put it back on a zip tie works well to hold the boot on

 

sounds like an idea but my dad is **** about using correct hardware. lol. what does that boot actually do neways???

 

you've posted threads with front end issues over the past like month......get that front end checked out. Upper and lower balljoints, inner and outer tierods have been suggested in ALL of those threads. Sames goes for this one..

 

i did, and they found a bad axle shaft and bearing and i had it fixed. they said that that should solve all my problems, this was at a ford dealership btw. a week or so after the fact i noticed the problems again and did have the chance to ever take it down there due to my boss bein on vacation and i was on call 24/7. and here i am. im just gonna replace IN/OUT TREs and see if that fixes it, even if it doesnt it still replaces a part w/ 113k miles on it...

 

x3 on the tire rod ends

 

forgot to ask something... will popping from the TREs travel through the steering column where i can hear/feel it through the steering wheel???

 

i was lookin on summit at the moog IN/OUT TREs and UCAs. but theres 3 diff UCAs, 1 for drivers side, 1 for passenger, and the other one doesnt say. im guessing the 1st 2 that list what sides are the right ones, and i guess they come w/ BJs? and it lists only 2 diff TRES (IN/OUT) so sides are universal? when i searched for ranger and my yr all these parts came up, but when i selected 4.0 it just showed the allignment kit. so does that mean that it doesnt matter what engine? i just dont wanna order them and they end up not workin... when i ordered the BL from summit i asked who i was tlkn to if itd fit and they couldnt tell me ****

 

could ne of it be the steering extension from the body lift???

 

??

 

NA prolly your tie rod ends

 

no it wouldn't pop it would just spin and not move the wheels

 

ic, i take it that happened to you. lol

 

i think imma buy the in/out TREs and try to find a place that sells the KYB shocks around here. should i get moog UCAs as well or is there nething else yall would suggest?
