Default Poppin noise when I turn to tha left and vibration on highway??

Hey yall when I drive my truck I hear a poppin noise when I turn to tha left and when I get past 65 on tha highway my front end starts givin off a vibration. I was thinkin either my tires need to be rotated or balanced or i need an alignment. Any advice?

Could be your sway bar bushings.. If it feels more like under your feet at the floor boards, that would be my guess.

My sway bar bushings are doing that right now...

But with the vibrations I would suspect axle CV or wheel bearing...

My 96 does the same but it's from the axle u-joints. It's on my "to-do" list.

I would check your front U-Joints for the vibration but if your hubs arent locked in then they shouldnt be turning. Then I would lean towards your swaybar bushings and a tire not balanced.

Mine ended up being the spring bushings...
