Ok I have searched on this forum and found nothign yet that sounds like what my truck is doing. Ny truck has a popping sound when I stop, turn and take off most of the time. Just 2-3 little clunks then it is gone until I stop again. I replaced all the u joints today and installed a new idler arm because it was very loose. I thought the idler arm would be the problem but it is still doing this. It seems to come from the passenger side but I dont know for sure. Does anyone have any ideas what this may be? Thanks in advance

I just went out and messed with it a little more. I pops the most now when I am stopping. When I come to a quick stop it has a nice little pop every time.

 

Could be dry bushings... sway bar, any bushings etc. If all else fails, use the spray trick, get in there and spray with WD40 until you find it.

 

I did that just a second ago and it still makes the noise . I sprayed every joint I could see

 

I'm going for shocks or ball joints.

I am agreeing with the shocks as well. Its time to replace mine anyways so I will go ahead and order some more. Thanks for all the help guys!!

 

my 1987 toyota 4 runner is having the same problem but only when i am taking right hand turns i know its not my ball joints or my bump stops. i just bought new tierod ends and will install them tuesday any suggestions would be helpful. the guys at shucks couldnt even figure it out.
