Is any one haveing any problems with a pop in the ft. end? My 4500 has had this from the time I drove it of the lot and it has been back 3 times and they still cant find it. If you take a on-ramp at 30 - 35 on a rt hand turn you can hear it and feel it in the wheel. Or backing up and turning the wheel from rt. to lt it will pop and shake the cab. I have spent hours looking for a problem and it has spent days at the dealer. It wont do it setting still nor will it do it if the wheels are off the ground.


Thanks
Keith

I have never had any sound come from the frontend of mine. Can it make the sound at a slower speed....like 3-5 MPH?? What I am getting at, is if it can be heard from the outside, maybe the location could be narrowed down.

Do you have a 4X4? I would hear a pop in my front end on my 3/4 ton when backing up or parking. U-joints poping. John

I have the same problem. The dealer is baffled....Imagine that. I also get alot of front end squeak's from the leaf springs in the front.
