Recently the truck developed a popping/clunking noise when driving at low speed like in the parking lot. It makes that noise when turning left or right, and under hard braking. It sounds like it's coming from right under the driver side seat I can feel it through the floorboard. Truck has pro-comp stage one lift. It was all good up till now. Does anyone has experienced the same noise?

Everything but the trans mount should be easy to spot. If you have a skid plate, you'll have to drop it to get to the rack. There was a thread at one point with pics of the trans mount...it should be a simple search...

Check your lower control arm. I had the exact thing happening to me. It was my drivers side lower control arm needing tightening.

Thanks for the replies guys. We have pinpointed the area where the popping sound is coming from. It is indeed the driver side lower control arm and I am going to take it to 4 wheel parts since it is still under warranty on Wednsday.

I want to say 90lbs, but Im not certain. The place who did the install should know for sure.

I have the same problem and i was told the bushings on my lower control arms were worn out but i still havent had a chance to replace them because I'm not exactly sure what I should replace them with. I am going to check them to see if it could also be that they are loose too. Lately I havent been as happy with my truck, to many popping sounds and some pretty severe shaking going on at certain speeds and it sounds like its going to fall apart when i offroad lol. But hopefully new bushings,tightened lower control arms, traction bars and fixing my sway bar will help.

Went to my locally 4x4 place and they told me I should have everything retorque about 2k miles. I bought the truck with 100 miles on it and never have anything retorque so I think I am long due for a maintainece. I will let everyone know if by retorque everything cures the popping noise

Got the truck back from 4x4 parts today and they told me they went over everything and retorque everything, the lower control arm both driver and passenger side were loose that's what was causing the popping noise. I am so happy finally got rid of the noise.
