Yeah it doesn't move at all, but I still have a popping noise when I turn, I replaced the steering gear box, the bad u joint, greased the joints and I hear the popping in the front mainly the right side but I'm not sure what it could be

I have i think the same thing going on. Lound pop/clunk. Not always when turning..the weight just has to shift right sometimes not a lot. Backing up, turning into parking lots. Ect.

What I do is I put my finger on all possibilities. TRE's, heims, track bar bracket, pitman arm, ect. You should be able to "feel" the pop.(use a buddy to help you turn the wheel while your under there.

Yeeeep. That thing is responsible for keeping the axle centered under the vehicle, of all of the front suspension it sees the most lateral stress. If you get someone to turn the wheel while you watch it you should be able to see it when it pops.
Are you lifted any?

Yes three inches and yeah I heard about that getting thrown off balance by the lift, I just thought it was causing the death wobble and nothing else, well thanks for the help!

Oh it's definitely causing you problems lol. Do yourself a favor and don't get another stock TB, get one made for 3" of lift, it will last a lot longer.

Replaced alt. and belt now NO START
I replaced my dying alt. and upgraded to a larger one and I just replaced the serpentine belt. I finally have everything installed again however now it isn't firing up.
It starts to crank but then slowly dies out. It doesn't fire up. I'm going to read through a no start thread here shortly. But if anyone knows something I should run out and check real quick please let me know.
