weird popping coming from front end

[SSchmi5519]

Hmm popping sound...have you tried the hose clamp fix? There is a bearing in the steering shaft that is just a tad loose, when the hose clamp is put on it, it stops a lot of movement and noise. One of my beat mods.

You talking the upper control arm bolts the alignment thingyson there cause there is a shiny spot ill have to double check them and Payton the noise isn't coming from that far back but couldn't hurt to pull it out an see, hows your truck running? You or bracken want to buy my tranny??

Yes, ive had them come loose on two trucks. Replaced bolts and cams and problem solved. The upper bushings must wear and let them get loose.

Had a similar issue all it was was a bad sway bar end link the bushings were worn out replaced both side and no more popping

broke engine mount can pop when turning

 

[DIESELMAFIAPER.LB7]

well an update i looked over my sway bar end link bushings an there coming apart but i still dont think thats my issue were do you get those bushing for t he sway bar anyway? i noticed it seems to do it more when the truck either is let of on the gas or on it and turning i've checked my motor mounts there good amazingly but sounds like maybe a ujoint but i cant feel any play or them being to stiff

I've been having this same noise for about 20,000 miles now. I just replaced the cv axles and nothing changed. I'm wondering if its the bushings that are in the lower A-arms where it connects to the frame

This was the case on my 2004. I had to spray them with penetrating oil for a couple of weeks to make them finally stop popping.

Napa auto zone orielys any parts store should sell the end links.

CV shafts have done that twice now for me...found a tiny tear the in boot. Grease worked its way out.

and were do i get the alignment cams at? gm?

I had to buy the kit with the bolts & cams(snapped a couple of the bolts) not fukkin cheap

My 04 was doing the same thing. It stopped when I replaced the wheel bearing hub Assy. And is not doing it anymore. But for around 20,000 miles drove me crazy. Forgot to add I paid around $180. at Auto zone for one. Got the other one for $80 delivered off line.

So reading this, pretty much just replace everything and you should be good to go. I got the pop too. Could be a multitude of things as my truck is lifted. I'm just gonna live with it until something becomes painfully obvious or falls off the truck.:rofl:
