    I can't say with confidence it was the pads alone. I changed rotors out too, and I suppose it could also be rotors shifting on the hub. It is a loud pop and pads shifting doesn't seem like it could produce that sound.
    Either way, rotors and pads fixed it.

    To verify this theory, I could move my driver side pads and rotors to the opposite side and see if the noise subsides or transfers to the passenger side.

    I wonder if the fella on page 114 post # 2276 is having the same loud clunk as I ? I hope not cause changing the needle bearing out is the last thing I wanted to do. Especially since for the first 80,000 miles of my truck was non lifted and never even been off a paved road. ( I bought the truck used)

    Is it possible that it is the spring making the noise somehow?

    ^1rooster posted a video showing the noise with the truck lifted up and rotating the wheel by hand. The spring isn't moving in the video.

    I also get a clunk/popping sound when reversing. Don't know what it is it it's been like that for months now. Happens after I got my icon suspension Installed.

    Here's the loud popping I get when I turn!! Just a single pop, that's it

    A sharp left or right always makes the noise.

    Here's what could be going on. This is on a fj cruiser with badly worn LCA bushings. I don't think mine are this bad though. Mine are just being violently Jared from one side to another there for making the noise a lot louder.

    mine is more like a loud metal "POP!" noise. only when i have the wheel cut all the way at a dead stop taking off in drive and in reverse. if im at a dead stop and cut my wheel all the way left or right then either back up or take off in drive it will make the loud "POP!" noise. its a brand new truck and hasnt done it until i put the 6" lift on

    This. It is most likely the pads bouncing back and forth.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Subbing for later. I occasionally have the same sound issue.

    This is what my noise was, which sounds like the OP's. I had to replace my passenger lca and it went away. Yes, it was the bushing.

    I checked the popping noise. Turns out it was just brake related. Guess I need to order the part soon.
