hardwaretoad Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Possibly tweaked a CV joint prior to backing your T-bars back down ? Might try a retorque on your various front suspension bolts, too. They're notorious for "popping" noises as you turn if they've loostened at all. You really should go through & check the torgue on them anyway after having work done, nothing says they got them all, or got them right. Might be tire rub on the stops, too... -thnkboutit- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Just a shot in the dark here, but I'd second the double-check on all the bolts, etc. of the front suspension to make sure, including those listed in the garage section as being notorious for the creaking in the front end. I'd also look over the front drive shafts for torn boots and tweaked parts, particularly if you've gone into 4wd lately, and for sure the mounting points for the new UCA's as well as the ball joints. I'm not too well versed on the latter, but 88 and some others are. My understanding is that you should use a pickle fork or possibly a prybar to check for looseness in these spots. Maybe somebody just forgot to properly lube some newly installed parts. Just trying to give some common sense spots to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Once again you guys, the CV joints do not spin when the vehicle is in 2WD. The possibility of them making any noise whatsoever in 2WD is very, very remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardwaretoad Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 the CV joints do not spin when the vehicle is in 2WD. DUH ! I don't recall him saying in his post one way or the other as to whether or not he was in 2 or 4 wheel when this was happening ~ that's why I brought it up... sheesh Can I suggest a wheel bearing w/o getting jumped ?
