popping noise coming from the RIGHT side of the front end

the noise happens when you turn, go over bumps, abruptly come to a stop, or if your off road and the suspension is flexing. The front end was just recently resealed and the bearings repacked. But the noise was there before it was resealed. You can feel it in the passenger side of the floorboard and in the steering. Any ideas

Check your mounts on your shocks. My top mount on the passenger side had a loose bolt that wallowed out the hole. Every bump, turn, or movement you could hear and feel it,

No It does it both in and out of 4wd. I'll check the shock mount. If it is worn what did you do to fix it? Replace the mount or what?

run your wheel full stuff to left and right like he said but sheck to see if your tires rub on your leaf springs, front or back.

i know my steer stops were loose on the knuckles and my mtrs were binding on the rear of the leaf on both side.
