Well I installed a zone 3 inch kit last weekend, followed all instructions no problems at all but ever since then I've noticed a light pop when I'm turning mostly its not real loud and I can't feel it anywhere its coming from the rear of the vehicle I installed new shocks, new springs, new sway bar links, and track bar relocation bracket all in the rear everything is tight I double checked, but if you have any ideas I would be greatly appreciative of your input thanks. Oh it's a 2012 Jk sport two door.

Put eyes on the suspension while somebody turns the steering back and forth. Watch everything that moves for interference between the steering and suspension parts.

Its better for your steering to do this with the front wheels on dirt or gravel rather than pavement.

sound has a tendency to travel.
What you think your hearing in one spot, may
actually be happening in a totally different area.

something either didn't seat right, was installed
backwards, or is now rubbing due to the angles.

Eyes & Ears on the undercarriage, while rotating the
steering is the only way You are going to find the problem.

Have someone turn the steering while your outside the vehicle.
Some Friends will have ya pulling your hair out just for laughs....
