I heard this loud pop while making a hard corner at slow speed.. A uturn. I have heard this same noise while turning left or right... backing left or right.. I am wondering whats up in the front of my suspension. Today I noticed a rather large gap in the front passenger link. The drivers side had this same seem.. but not as prominent. any ideas?

My 03 was doing something similiar...a loud popping sound while turning. It ended up being the steering intermediate shaft. Ever since 1999, GM's design of the intermediate steering shaft has sucked and they have issued severa TSB's for this issue. Took it to the dealer and they replaced it with a "new design" shaft that gm has come out with.

My guess is its the intermediate shaft...

check your torsion bar mounts. i had one break before and it made a loud popping sounds while turning at low speeds

That would be a good place to look since I had the front end rebuilt. Not to mention the persistent squeek under the drivers and passengers side..

That would be my guess also. The bushings are probably warn or on their way polyurethane cost alittle more but much better in the long run

Check your rear springs. I'm willing to bet this is it. I had the same noise for months until I finally found it.

 

Go to the back of your bed, grab the bed rail and shake the truck VERY hard. It will most likely start the loud clunking/popping. If it does, your springs have rust build up between them.

 

Get the truck on a lift so the springs will extend out (lift by the frame so the rear wheels come off the ground). Pump grease between the leaf packs. Noise gone.

I avoided posting till i found out what truck you have,,maybe a sig would be cool for ya so we all know when replying ?

 

i noticed you had been in a wreck ? and the truck is a 4x4 ?

 

Check the front CV joints , a common noise when worn is a loud popping sound ..

ok...I reread the thread and no where did I see he wrecked his truck. Am I missing something here? I'll go back and read it once again just to be sure but... lol

LOL...Ya it is not in this thread where I read he wrecked truck ... It may not even be his topic I think it was though , I found it trying to determine if he had a 4x4 or not , if he had a 2wd the cv post would have been retarded !

Yeah it was wrecked. Had a new frame under it. 4wd z... Single cab.. I am pretty sure all this is related to that incident. squeeky mounts etc.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
