So I replaced both front u-joints, but I still have the same issue.

Could it be in that shock (?) that attaches to the drag link?

i'm having a similar issue where i'm getting a huge popping sound and a jump in the steering wheel when i turn sharp all the way in either direction. I just installed a spartan locker a couple weeks ago and its only been doing it since then, so that should be the obvious issue but the install went smoothly and everything seemed to check out fine. Did you happen to install a front locker recently also?

No, no front locker install, but I did have that same issue. The new wheel bearing/hub solved that.

I noticed when I had it in the air and turned the wheel I didn't feel the problem. I do when it is under power (and on the ground).

Could a slipping belt do this?
