Popping sound front end - 2005 Dodge Dakota

    poping sound in front end

  • Anonymous Nov 19, 2008

    I had popping noises coming from the front end of my car. Brought it to the dealership and they told me there is a problem with the wheel well....two pieces rubbing together. It would cost me $115...best warranty doesnt even cover it. They simply drill two holes in the top of the wheel well and put rivets in to keep them from moving.

    Knocking sound from front end when going over a small or large bump...even small dimple in a parking lot. No steering involved, just the distinct knocking.

It is the Front Sway bar linkage.
Dealer item only at the moment. 63.00 each 135.00 with tax.
Replace the linkage and the problem will be solved.

SOURCE: popping and crunching sounds from the front end axles when you take a curve

Your best bet would be to have the CV joints inspected. When they go bad they have a tendency to pop and crunch and will eventually fall apart if they are not replaced.

SOURCE: POPPING IN THE FRONT END?

It could be worn suspension parts, like ball joints, tie rod ends, worn bushings. It is best to have a Front End Shop take a look at it to determine what part is worn out.

Popping or knocking heard in front end when riding

Sounds like the Spring may be broken or there is another loose front end part such as a ball joint or a spring seat or something like that.

I had a broken spring on my 1990 Cadillac Deville and didn't know it until looking at it up under the wheel, and experiencing a popping or knocking sound when turning.

It could also be the bearing cap area problem.

1991 S10 blazer 4x4 4.3 popping coming from the front

the popping sound is the stabilizer links or the lower control arm bushings you can replace all bushings and both link kits for around 50.00 and the light is prob from the sensor on the transfer case or the front end i would remove and clean with dawn dishwashing liquid and put them back.
