Hello everyone, read alot of threads here and they have been a lot of help but I need help with an issue..
2007 Titan 2wd...have replaced springs with 08's, new uca's and lca's and shocks, and outer tie rod ends, I have even added the derlin spacers for lca, but front end is till popping when turning at low speeds...inner tie rods ?

Also this just started...if accelerated quickly from a stop, then let off the the gas, the driver front wheel makess a noise I have only ever heard when abs engages...abs/speed sensor??? But I have no check engine light or abs light on when this accrues..
Wheel bearing??? But there is no play in the hub with jacked up off the ground and it spins ok..
Any ideas please...Thanks

Cv joints. Sounds like you did everything but the CV joints. A clicking and popping while turning is a classic symptom and easy diagnosis for a mechanic.
Check your undercarriage for thrown grease around the axel and driveshaft. And most importantly, always inspect your boots for rips, cracks, and loose ends. A boot is much cheaper and easier(sometimes) to replace than a whole joint.

Good luck. Let us know

A cv joint can go bad without a boot break. Your truck is 14years old. If they weren’t replaced before, and your prob topping 150,xxx or more— highly likely they’re worn

Can't be the CV joints on a two wheel drive Titan.

How many miles on the vehicle? So I would go with wheel bearings. My '07 4x4 needed wheel bearings at around 90k miles.

Isn’t the 2wd FWD? My bad, I thought fwd.. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Hubs aren’t too expensive anyway. Timken always best option imo

Nope, rear wheel drive. Same spindle as 4x4, just no axles going through the wheel hub/bearing assembly.

136k 6 inch lift, 2wd rwd
Wheel/hub assembly I where I'm leaning too.
Checked the inner tie rod for extra play and found none, but may change them anyway as they are old.

Would a "sticky brake caliber" cause the "abs" sound I hear ?

Will post more as isolate the 2 diff noises.
Thanks for post any idea is another idea I can check..

Brake noise solved !!
Driver front brake caliber is sticking and very slow to release pressure...going to clean or get new ones sat...
Still chasing the popping noise from front end tho..

I don't rebuild calipers. I get new ones. I don't turn rotors either. It's a matter of time available.

Check your hubs

Replaced hubs..still have a popping noise

 

[HRTKD]

If you support the front end with jack stands so that both tires are off the ground, do you get the noise when turning the steering wheel fully left and right?

 

[Steve81]

I did, no noise when I do that..inner and outer tie rods feel good..only thing I noticed was a slight pop sound coming from inside the rack and pinion, right where the steering arm goes in

 

[HRTKD]

Titan steering boxes haven't been a huge problem, but when they go it's something that needs to be fixed. There were a number of posts from way back where tightening up the box resolved an issue. I don't recall if the issue at hand was just noise though.

I'll research that and see if it wrks...hope so🤞tho..tired of chasing it lol, thank for your help..I'll continue to update as I go
