CV Joint failure

[Gottmud]

Has anyone suffered from the front CV Joints starting to make fast popping noises when turning. it sounds like maybe a carrier cracked or broken. Do the 35" toyos affect the warranty on that type of stuff. I have 32,000 miles on the truck.

I had my carrier bracket bushings replaced not too long ago. But the noise was my driveline slamming into gear as the front diff was being moved up

Does it do it all the time or just in the AM? Did you check your boots?

Interesting comment about in the AM. Yes, it only seems to do it in the mornings when the truck is cold. Very pronounced when turning, especially to the right. I thought it might be something to do with the truxxx level kit, so it took it off, lubed it again, re-levelled, but it is still there. I am convinced it is the CV joints. (OR possibly shocks). I do know it is frigging annoying..

That's exactly what mine was doing...only in the AM, and only when it was cold outside.

I know this sounds silly, but mine went away....on it's own.

Did you check your tires/wheels/brakes for rocks?

I don't know if this is your problem or not but there is an ongoing discussion about something similar to your problem here:

WOW. This is a real problem. I am sooooooo glad that other people have the same problem, I thought it was just me being really picky. If anyone gets to the bottom of this, please post the results on the forum.
