Weird pop noise on inclines

stevens6.7 · Apr 23, 2019

So I've noticed this "popping" type of noise if I'm turning right into a driveway or sometimes around a corner. Any ideas of what it could be? Stock rancho shocks with 35" tires on stock wheels.

Could be seized axle u-joint. could be a coil spring not seated fully against the lower rest. Could be failing body mounts.

Would it matter the truck only has 46K miles? I feel like it started after a trip to NTB to get a tire repaired.

I would immediately check lug nut torque then.

Also check to make sure your 4x4 hubs are unlocked.

I will double check the lug nuts! Hopefully they didn't touch my hubs it was on the driver side rear! Thanks for the advice Sootie!

Cab bushings have rotted out, lower section of bushing has deteriorated, bolt washer hitting frame when frame flexes.

Wow. With only 46k then it would be odd for any of this to be an issue.. i would lean towards ball joints myself but again, that would be odd.. maybe trac bar bolt is lose.

Well it seems like it's coming more from the drivers side rear as that was the tire that was taken off and repaired. The heaviest I've had in the bed was about 2 cubic yards of bank sand and I don't have a goose neck hitch either for what its' worth.

Lug nuts were good, took the wheel off to see if I could see anything loose. No luck, but I did shake the truck side to side and the noise was more audible on the drivers side verses the passenger side.
