Hi everybody,
so I installed a 2" lift two or three weeks ago and everything was working fine untill a few days ago, when my XJ developed a popping noise from the front end which would do it randomly when street driving, a lot more when off road and sometimes when I lean on the hood.
Several inspections I did revealed only a pitman arm balljoint that needed to be replaced sometime in the near future but that did not make bad sounds, and signs that my new coils have been rubbing with the part of the axle where the balljoints are. Look at the pics. They look like they have moved from the center of the base.
I can fit my finger between the coil and the base where it sits, but not on the inner side of the axle.
Like here
And on the left coil outer side too, my finger goes between the coil and th ebase but not on the inner side.
Have they moved while setteling? Yes, the retaining clips are on and seem tight. I ran out of ideas!!
Thanks in advance!!
