Popping sound, Passenger side Rear

[farris2003]

I had a popping sound coming from my front passenger side area that I randomly heard at slower speeds. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason. It ended up being the top bolt to the shock absorber. It wasn't loose, it was just slightly less tightened.

The point of this is to say, check any nut/bolt associated to make sure it's torqued down well, especially the ones that require more.

As for the spring isolator thingy, that's an easy fix. I mean it could be the problem but probably not.

Yeah the dealership ended up replacing the whole axle on the rear and didn't really say why. So I am wondering if there were a select few of these that have issues and they are trying to avoid a recall? At any rate, mine has been re-homed. Beautiful truck, it was just time to move on!

No problem buddy! I hate it too whenever I have an issue that I can't figure out on my own. The truck was great but really didn't tow enough (I have a side by side and a quad). I don't know if towing that contributed to the issue or not, but they covered it under warranty. If you were more local I would steer you to my dealership as they are great. I hope it is an easy fix for you, friend!

I had a wrangler and experienced death wobble multiple times to the point that the manufacturer ended up buying it back under the Lemon Law and it sucks that now this one is coming up with that weird noise…i prefer the noice over the wobble though ? but still…the noise is just annoying. Thank you!

Did you get it fixed? And have you experienced this again?

I did indeed fix it. The manner of trouble shooting I did was to pull out the breaker bar and elbow grease. I just went through each heavily torqued connection and stumbled across the upper shock bolt which needed a bit more tightening. ?
