Exclamation front suspension help!!!

I have completely rebuilt the front suspension and steering of my 2002 f-250 7.3 4x4. Yet i still get popping sound when I turn my truck on and the first movement I do either turn left or right I get the popping sound (feels like it comes from the driver side). I don't know if its from my U-joint from axle shaft, steering pump, or steering wheel column. My steering wheel also squeaks when I turn. I also started to get a humming noise from 10mph -40mph. Any advice would help Thank you.

This is a list of all new parts
  • Front Lower Ball Joints
  • Front Upper Ball Joints
  • Front Tie Rod End at Pitman Arm
  • Front Tie Rod End at Right Hand Connecting Tie Rod
  • Front Outer Connecting Tie Rod End Passenger Side
  • Front Outer Tie Rod End Drivers Side
  • Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve at Pitman Arm
  • Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve Driver Side
  • pro comp 2 inch leveling leaf springs
  • zone adjustable track bar
  • wheel hub assembly
  • all new u joints on my front drive shaft

You need to get someone under the truck watching to see where the pop comes from when you turn the wheel . Take the guess work out of it.

Agree that having someone down to look at it while moving would be a big help. One thing you might check on is the bushings in the spring hangers. When mine went bad it was more of a clunk than a pop, but at least one more thing to rule out.

So when you START the truck, still in PARK, you get a popping sound? Is it a 4x4, where you might have a vacuum leak? Have you checked the motor mount on that side?

I experienced a similar situation & mine ended up being a wheel bearing going out.
