I have figured out that is when the suspension loads and unloads.

That is as I come to a stop and the Jeeps nose dips forward I hear, popping or creaking then again as I take off and the Jeep lurches back and the nose comes up.

I am totally at a loss here guys. Anyone have any ideas????

I have the same sound coming from my rear lower control arms where the bushing is worn out.

I looked at all the bushings and don't see anything obviously worn to that point.

I had a popping noise coming from my right rear area after I installed my 2.5" teraflex lift and I ended up putting spacers on and it solved my problem. The right rear sway bar link would occasionally contact the wheel.

I should mention, I am running 3/4 spacers up front but have for years and this noise started a month ago.

Jack up each wheel and give a turn back and forth, lock it in 4 wheel so you fronts won't turn. Maybe the joints? I have nothing else for you. Sorry

I did that. Can't see any play from the joints or get the sound to happen when I do that.
