Ok I'm going to my fathers house to get some work done on the jeep. I've been chasing a popping sound that I believe is coming from passenger side. It pops when I turn, sitting still and driving
I have some new axle bushings but I'd like to know for sure what it is before I head out. Is anyone free on Friday during the day that wouldn't mind going over it with me. I'd greatly appreciate it
Thanks

New ones don't mean they are good.... Especially if they are duralast joints.

Check the track bar bolt at the axle. I've had it come loose and make a popping noise when I'd turn the wheel.

Ok what do you look for when trying to diagnose death wobble. Went to to my dads and the entire way there we had dw. From 45-60 mph, I have replaced the track bar bolt and I'm supposed to be getting a replacement track bar tomo

If its just shaking between 45-60 its not DW. Its DW if have have to come to almost a complete stop to make it stop bouncing. Not just slow down.
You might have a really bad shake (like I did when we left HP last time) but thats no DW. That could be due to tire balance, alignment, ball joints, control arms, trac back, etc, or any combination of these.
You said you had it aligned, but did they do it to factory specs or take larger tires into account?

It violently shakes at 50-55 mph, I have to reduce speed to get it to stop. If I speed quickly to 60 it won't do it but once you start slowing down it'll violently shake and smooth out. Yeah I had it aligned, I took it firestone but I can't gurantee they took in the bigger tires factor.

Then its not DW. Reducing speed won't stop DW. You have to pretty much slam on the brakes down to less than 5 mph
My guess would be unbalanced tires and/or ball joints.
