Subject: Front end "Pop"? IP: Logged
Message: 2002 Club Cab 3.9 2wd
When backing and turning the wheel to the left, I hear a lond single pop sound from right front wheel area. Usually only when I hit the steering stop. If braking a bit hard in reverse will make the sound even if not at steering stop. After it does this, I can "reset" it by braking hard while moving forward and makes same sound.
Does that make sense?
Any idea if it is a problem?

Message: sounds like a ball joint. have you had the recall done for the upper ball joints? won't cost you anything, shouldn't anyways! Might want to check tie rod ends too.

Message: Purchased used in 05, so I don't know if the recall was performed.

Message: go to www.ddoge.com with your vin in hand. there is a page there for you to check on recall work done to your truck using either the first 7 or last 7 digits of the vin. it will tell you which to use.

Message: This is what I got from Dodge.com:
"No Incomplete Recalls or Customer Satisfaction Notifications Exist"
Does that mean all recalls have been done?

Message: probably your wheel bearing/hub assembly. Dakotas are prone to failure around 90K miles

Message: Ball Joints, Probably Upper, but I'd replace up/down on both sides, or you'll be doing them all anyway over the next 6 months! Same thing happened to three of mine! It's a B***H!
