Growls because it's hungry. Feed the brute.
Popping its knuckles in anticipation of some action.

sounds like balljoints to me, but could also be a bad bushing. i would take it to a mechanic and have them check the balljoints and see what shape they are in. you can look at the bushings yourself and visually see if they are in decent shape.

Also check the upper control arm to see if the bolt is loose. I had this problem on my 99 R/T

I have a 2000 Dakota Sport 3.9L, I to have a popping noise from the front mostly when you turn to the left. It is somewhat intermittent, but I had (Under an Extended Warranty) the upper and lower control arms replaced and inter and outer tie rods replaced and it still makes the popping noise. I would be interested to find out if anyone else has found a solution to this problem.
Thanks

I too had/have the popping noise. I had it then got the ball joints replaced with the warranty at the dealership. Now a month later i hear it again but only on the passengar side. I suppose i am going to take it back to them.

Stick to your guns with the dealer, The ball joints are a known problem. I have a 97/Dakota with 88k and have had them replaced @ 30K. I now am having them replaced again, out of pocket at a local shop. I have also had 5 or more catalitic converters replaced under warrenty.

Is the popping noise from the dash or underneath? I had my 04 fixed last week due to loose bolts at the inner fender well where it meets the cowl. Drove me nuts, all better now

I have recently taken my 2000 Dakota Sport back to the dealer and they put my truck up on the rack and tightened every bolt they could reach in the front end including the frame. Apperently they got the right one because it has not popped since. They think that one of the bolts in the frame was loose and caused the noise when I was turning.
