When ever I am turning on a incline or decline you can hear a slight pop/thunk noise. I jacked up the truck and checked for anything loose in the front but couldn't find anything, I jiggled the tires, no play, jiggled all the steering componets hooked to ball joint and didn't have any play.

 

I just put new shocks on and I don't notice the noise as much but it's still present.

 

i noticed my truck was doing that a few months ago and i tightened the lug nuts and the noise went away. just an idea, good luck!

 

that's a good possiblity since I just got the new wheels and put new brakes on I might have missed a lug or 2 since I had been taking the wheels on and off so many times.

 

I have to get my wheels pretty snug or else the lugs will work loose.

I only have problems with the drives side rear though, I assume because of the braking and direction of rotation. I have to torque it to 95 ftlbs other wise it will work loose.

 

Good call Donate, 2 lug nut's were some what loose on my driver's side wheel.

 

my front lugs come loose a lot and the wheel makes that thunk/pop noise, thats why i mentioned it. did the noise go away after you tightened them?

 

Ya the noise has since gone away. I put some threadlock on them this time. I never had this problem before with my stock wheels...possible AR wheel defect.

 

mine does that two, it's got new ball joints, shocks, outer u-joints, I think it's those rubber bushing things that go back to the frame, I can't remeber what they call them...

ha ha just found it, Radius Arm Bushings.....

 

Actually, its not a defect, after you have had aftermarket wheels on, such as alloy, or alluminum, after about 50 miles you should tighten them again, they work lose, and do not over tighten, just tighten to where you think it is tight. trust me on this one

 

lol
If I dont torque mine down as tight as I can get them I gotta re-torque EVERY 50 miles. Re-torquing only brings them back to where they were 50 miles before.
