When in 4 wheel drive ONLY and turning there is a loud popping noise, sounds as if something is coming under stress or binding and then pops, can do so multiple times during one turn. Mostly noticiable when turning left. Have just had brand new front drive axles installed thought that was the problem. Wrong I was. What else could be causing this loud pop, actually almost loud bang.
