Hey guys I'm new to this forum, I just got my first jeep a 93 yj 5 speed with a inline 6 lifted on 33. I'm having issues when I make a sharp right turn I hear a loud pop and don't know where its coming from. Has anyone ever had this issue. What is it I should be looking at. What are the common problems that can cause this before I start pulling stuff apart, I'm hoping its a easy and cheep fix, any information would be appreciated.... Thanks

Does the front axle have a locker?? If unsure jack the front up on jack stands and spin the front tires by hand you will feel it and hear it.

If not a popping while turning is probably a bad u-joint on the front axle

Yes

Your talking a major heavy assembly and key player to making the jeep move so the middle of your driveline assembly trans and transfer case will move at will

They will jump around
