Popping noise when suspension articulates

I guess whatever the case is, the springs are gonna have to come off. It'll be a fun rusty one.

Popping noise when suspension articulates

Alright, so I found whats making the noise. Sadly I'm not much less confused. For some reason the spring pack is basically trying to rotate and the popping noise is the front spring end jamming into the hanger. Don't understand why this is happening...

Popping noise when suspension articulates

This is good to know, I'll have to take a second look at that. Was there a lip somewhere on one of the springs or something, or they just bind and snap together somehow? I looked at the leaf springs because that was my first thought but I just didn't see anything that looked like it would make a...

Sometimes it will happen going straight or turning on a bumpy road/potholes/speed bumps but it happens more reliably driving on uneven terrain (more rolling/twisting bumps than small pothole type bumps).

Popping noise when suspension articulates

My first thought was that it sounds like something going on with the rear driver side leaf springs (just due to the nature of the noise, sounds like large thick metal) but can't get it to make the noise when I'm not driving and I can't see anything apparent wrong with them. Its definitely toward...

Tried this. Jacked up by the axle on each side, dropped it slowly, then did it again dropping faster, then did the same thing jacking it by the frame on each side and couldn't get it to make the noise.

Popping noise when suspension articulates

I've got a noise on a 98 k2500 that I can't find for the life of me. I've read about the slip yoke and some other ideas but I don't think that's what this is. The noise sounds like it's in the rear center or driver's side. It's a big clunk/pop that happens once when you drive over uneven...
