There is a weird popping noise in my front end, seems like its on the left side. When i come to a stop i hear it as the front of my car dips down from braking. If i pull up on the front end, it does it too. The wheel bearings are good, it only happens when the front moves up or down...

Stock beam, dropped spindles and newer shocks. this just started about a month ago.

your beam may need a "lube job"

So it isnt my beam at all, (i did lube it for the heck of it) my drivers side tie rod is loose, the inner adjusting nut for the toe adjustment keeps comming loose. I've put thread lock on the threads too but it still wiggles loose after driving.

these tie rods are just over a year old and they are beefy ones too.

Help!

sounds like the adjusting nut may have some bad threads?

Thats what a few people have suggested but they look good and feel good when i turn the nut. i can crank it down without it stripping
