okay, so i was able to bring my truck to a shop to find out what's the popping play noise on the front passenger side that i hear when the ground level changes (not specifically when i brake. Only when the road surface changes levels by tilting forward or backwards). Keep in mind, I have new shocks on both fronts wheels and I changed out the bearing on the front passenger side wheel...
so when i brought it to the mechanic, they tried to rock the front suspension by pushing up and down on it...they weren't able to replicate the noise. So the manager and I took it for a test drive out on the road and all of a suspend, the noise is completely gone!
And he said, maybe it's got something to do with it raining today and it might be a bushing.... but I don't think so. What i find coincidental is that when I rock the front suspension by bouncing up and own on the front end of the truck right before I drive the truck, this play popping noise disappears. Not sure if this truck has rubber mounts on the springs, could this be the problem? any other suggestions? thanks in advance
