    I've had a persistent popping/clicking noise when coming to a stop. I'm lifted with Icon ext. travel C/O's RR w/ CDC, JBA UCA's, All Pro Expo leaf pack. Everything regarding suspension is tight and torqued to spec, which I check every oil change as a part of my routine maintence on the truck. I've been trying to narrow down the cause starting with most obvious and working down.

    In the past year, I've replaced:
    • LCA assembly
      • Moog LCA bushings, ball joints, LCA arm
    • Rad mounts
    • Body mounts
    • Leaf spring bushings
    • Swing shackle bushings
    • U-joints
    • Carrier bearing
    I've checked the bed and behind seat storage for anything loose, rattling. Nope.

    What else is there to check replace?
    • UCA bushings are about 4 years old at this point. They're JBA UCA's with OEM rubber bushings with about 80k miles on them.
    • Engine mounts?
    • Trans mounts?
    I've noticed there is a few mm gap in the LCA mount versus the LCA eyelet/bushing. Is it just slop in the mount causing the clicking/popping? Should I add a shim in there to tighten things up?
