Default Re: help with front end pop noise just cant find the cause and driving me crazy

Did you figure it out Juan? I just went through a similar process on my 2003. Replaced sway bar links and bushings, injected grease into all boots with 18 gauge needle on a grease gun and a number of other things... only to find that when tires were on the ground, the drivers' side shock top nut was not tight enough... which allowed the shock to wallow around the top mount. tightened it down and compressed the rubber bushings on the top and voila' no more noise. Previous owner was a mechanic and he had installed new shocks before I bought it 2 years ago. Nice, smooth and quiet ride now. Check those top nuts and bushings with the weight of the vehicle on the tires.
