On my 02 when I turn it makes a pop and sometimes 2 pops and it pops when i hit a bump. i just changed my shocks and cranked my torsions 2 rounds and then it started. I talked to my dealer and without looking they thought it might be my cv joint. what do yall think and if it is my cv joint how do i check? thanks for any help.

It is very commmon for the crossmember under the engine to make this type of noise. Take off the crossmember, remove the coating around the bolt holes and grind the areas smooth. Reinstall the crossmember and tighten the bolts to 133 lb ft.
