Looking for feedback in narrowing down a popping noise on the front driver side wheel area.
Coming to a slow stop and take off there is a popping sound. Its faint sound but can feel it as well in the floor board. Yesterday I raised the truck up and slowly let down with the jack and the sound is noticeably loud and you can actually see the spindle and upper control arm soundly pop and move, as if there is something hanging. I disconnected the lower shock mount and seems to no longer pop, reconnect and the sound is back. Removing the shock removes pressure from the lower control arm.
I'm thinking could be one of the:
- Lower ball joint
- Heim bushing(s) on the SAWs coilovers
- Heim bushing(s) on the PRG upper control arms
