is the pop coming from the interior or exterior of the vehicle?

check to see if the nuts on your steering linkage are hitting the frame, mainly where the idler arm and steering arm run under the frame rail...

sounds more like coming from the interior...and it was doing it before the lift was installed

Hey Lonnie,
How is the condition of the V-Belt and tension?

Really would hate for it to be the Power steering pump <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

Dave, Why don't you capitalize the city of "Saint Tony-TX?"

You heathen <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />
