I think that i have isolated the "pop" noise in my steering. I think that where the track bar mounts to the frame is moving when i turn or hit certain bumps. Is this something i have to deal with or are my adjustments off?

so the hole in the mount may be wallowed out. have it checked by a shop or someone with first hand knowledge of problems like these.

That bolt needs to be tight. It seems to be the source of death wobble for many. If your also using the stock bolt you may try another grade 8 bolt. If I remember correctly the stock bolt's diameter get smaller in the middle where there's no threads which could be allowing the hiem joint to move slightly making the popping noise.
I change my RE trackbar to the Currie trackbar (that's a story in it's own) which has a slightly larger bolt that fit the hole fairly tight was I reamed it out.

My mistake, I thought you were talking about the axle mount.
Did you have to drill out that hole for the RE trackbar? That was a PITA. I had to use some washers (grade 8) so the nut would tighten. There was a small lip on the mount making it tough and yeah 175#. (Wish I did the Currie instead) Life in Pandora's box, isn't it fun
