New here...need some help.
Been browsing around here and that what the heck I'll just join the crew.
Here's my problem. My '01 F150 is making a horrible popping sound when I'm turning left or right in 4 wheel drive. Don't know much about this stuff so looking for any advice.
From just the internet research I've done it looks like it could be a number of things...CV joints may be most likely. I had the ball joints replaced about 6 mo ago. What's the best way to diagnose this problem? Looking to figure it out myself and possibly fix it myself since I have no income right now as a student.
Thanks!
