Lets stay in touch if one of us figures it out we should tell the other. I need to do the diff bushing since its shot anyways it doesnt sound like its the diff it sounds like something springy like the torsion bars making noise maybe.
Roger that! Mine is also springy like.

Mine is getting worse as in more frequent I hope something doesnt break before we figure this out. Have you changed or checked your lower ball joints?

No, hadn’t used the truck since:(

I found my front driverside lower ball joint is blown. Its not the sound. I think the sound is coming from torsion bar and surrounding area. Im getting closer.

Could it be the sidestep? Mine sometimes make a strange noise when I step on it. But yeah, the springy sound seem to come from more deep

I have sliders and removed them and the sound was still there.

Edit: for the record i think the sound is the lower ball joint. we will find out soon.

SOLVED: Had it diagnosed and it’s the front passenger shock. It’s functional but worn out. Sounds like it’s time for a lift!



I appreciate it! That would be a dumped Flowmaster 40 Series. Sounds better in person.

Great news - good find and a cheap fix. Always nice for it to turn out this way.
 
Update mine has gotten worse. Everything has been replaced except the entire front control arm. I had some fun as Pismo Dunes and its worse since then. Maybe sand got somewhere.

Ill get video of it now that its more audible. Its a moaning, groaning creaking sound.

Control arm bushings/balljoints are all good?
