Pop Noise - Help Please

Didn't get any responses to the first thread, so...

I'm getting a pop noise, seems like it's drivers side. Wheel half-turned, backing up (no brakes), pop pop, and then again one more time going forward with wheel still turned.

It seems to be getting worse. I think all my suspension is tight after my lift, I just re-checked the LCA bolts, they seem fine. Everything else I can reach without lifting the truck seems fine. UCAs have grease and teflon lubricant.

Any ideas? Please? I'm about to have to go to the stealer...

 

try searching about bad cv joints

 

Really? I only have 1.75" of lift, if that. Somebody else in a past thread confirmed my CVs are nearly straight. And the truck only has 18,000 miles... I would have a bad CV already? Seems so unlikely!

 

floating brake pad

 

Only on one side, pretty loud, and happens WITHOUT the brakes on.

 

This.

 

^^^^^ that

 

I had and still have this damn problem. I made sure all susp. was tight. checked cvs/brakes and then went to the dealer. They replaced the rack and tie rod ends. I still have a pop

 

I get a sound on my drivers side as well only when backing up. Sometimes its right away then doesnt happen when I apply the brakes and sometimes it happens after I back up then hit the brakes.

 

That does sound very similar to what I'm hearing, except only when I'm around half lock. It's getting worse though, so I may be where you are soon.

You have no other ideas then?

 

they did fix the whine noise. bad pully. And the new rack has made the steering feel much better. Also replaced front diff seals. Still poppin Not as bad but its still there

 

mine started very light and slowly progressed. From the cab it sounds like a CLICK not a loud pop

 

Shit. Sounds identical then. I barely heard it at first and thought it was just floating brakes, and now it is getting more noticeable. I still only really hear it when my windows are rolled down.

 

chris 4x4 said to check for rocks or crap in the bottom of the coil seats. I did have a little junk there. I GOT them as clean as i could without taking apart. STILL POPPING. I still think it could be from running OME coils with my stock billies. I will just keep upgrading parts till the pop goes away or until shit breaks

 

the dealer says its from the bumper extensions / and or cab mounts / and frame flex causing the skid plate to move. The would not repair this TSB.

 

Blah. I just want to drive this fucking truck through a wall.

They wouldn't repair this TSB, what do you mean?

 

my truck has 80,000 on it. THEY GAVE ME a new rack but would not replace bumper ext. and body mounts. There is a TSB for popping on ruff roads. Mine sounds like a 5 year old ADHD kid with a noise maker OFF ROAD> Check the 2nd gen TSB list. If your truck is lifted then you will need t find a cool dealership

 

I looked at the TSB list...did not see anything regarding steering rack or anything

 

Hrm, I'll go by tomorrow and see what they say. Thanks!

 

Bushings in my rack were shot NO TSB
