Front right popping sound

[outerorbiter]

Any tips on a popping sound from fro t right suspension. Not sure how long it’s been going on since it’s my wife’s Yukon. The popping occurs sometimes when turning hard left and reversing. To me it sounds like a tire rubbing when oversized. Factory wheels and tire size though. I replaced them sway bar end links last spring and didn’t notice any tire rub. Thanks!

Is the sound continuous or just s quick pop? Can you list the year and model 2wd 4 or all? If nothing is rubbing the inner fender something is loose or worn out. Are the lug nuts tight? Need a little more info.

Quick pop, turn wheel back some and it stops. 2007 Yukon xl 2wd. Lug nuts always torqued to 140 ft/lbs.

Check the sway bar end link spacers on both sides.

Check the wheel hub / unit bearing assembly also.

I've had this before. Make sure your upper arm adjuster bolts are tight. After an alignment, the tech didn't snug them up enough and they were loose. I heard it most commonly when turning in reverse too.

The bolt/nut on ball joint or the two connections at the frame?

Where the upper arms bolt to the frame, that is where the adjusters are.
