Light popping sound when turning in parking lots.

[Beowulf85]

Anyone get a random light popping sound from front when turning in parking lots? I hear it sometimes turning into parking spaces. Its usually one pop then I dont hear it again until I back out. I have to be in motion though. Turning wheel back and forth completely stopped makes no sound.

Yup - only on occasion, I've heard it, not common, not always, but I've heard it in parking lots, tighter turns, moving but not fast.

Ok cool. I notice it more now that I'm aware of it. As long as others hear it sometimes I'm not worrying. Thanks

Yup mine does too, has since day 1.

Pretty much every time I back out of a spot or my driveway and start to pull forward and turn the wheel back in the opposite direction... Just once, until i back out of another spot .
To me it sound like it's from the right front.
It doesn't bother me and nothing is loose in the front end

I have heard it a couple time also on the right side. I think it is something with the Front Axle Disconnect (FAD) system that is on the right side of the axle.

Hadn't thought of that, makes sense

Had a light pop and short rattle on quick acceleration and in turns since day 1. For me it seemed to come from the back driver side. Took it to the dealership which torqued all suspension bolts/nuts to spec and did the same to the bed mounts. No longer does it.

So I did a test in parking lot. I let my truck roll at a slow speed. Turned wheel completely right and turning back immediately pops and same with left.

it is the built- in popcorn popper... enjoy!

I had a similar experience and it ended up being the body mounts rear cab.

Dropped my truck off at the dealership. They retorqued everything in the front end , and no more popcorn maker. Also turning feels alot tighter and responsive.

The pop on acceleration returned... lived with it for a few weeks before doing a 2 inch Iron Rock Lift Kit with DT8000 shocks and now it's gone again. Let's see if it returns.

At this point, they need to replace the vehicle. Involve corporate customer service. See if they will install a Mopar lift at no charge to you to see if it fixes the issue. The lift I installed was not Mopar, it was Iron Rock, but no more popping at this point... and the rattle that was the biggest issue never returned.
