Why does my suspension pop when I accelerate?
When the universal or ball joint wears, it can cause popping or ticking sound. Check tie rod ends for wear and replace as needed. (Note: Car re-alignment is required when replacing suspension components.) Control arm bushings are sometimes serviced by replacing the complete suspension arm.
What does it mean when your engine makes a popping noise?
When an engine is running rich, it has too much fuel and too little air, which slows down the combustion process. When combustion doesn’t happen in a timely manner, the exhaust valve opens while the air-fuel mixture is still igniting, causing this explosion to “spill” out of the cylinder, making a loud popping noise.
Why is the front end of my truck popping?
Older vehicles (mainly trucks) with ball joints in their front suspensions can generate popping sounds when turning or going over bumps. If that happens, it’s time to have them checked out. Popping sounds when going over bumps or turning sharply can also be a sign of worn shock absorbers or worn out struts.

Is there a way to stop popping on deceleration?
Hi, Trevor. Yes, this would definitely improve your performance. We would suggest tuning with a Power Commander, or Vance & Hines FP3. You can eliminate decel popping by adding aprox 5% fuel at 0% throttle; between the RPM range of 1,500 and 3,500 RPM.
Is it normal to make noise when accelerating?
