poping from front end??

[1996DANGERRANGER]

hello, so i was building a back rack for my truck and i rocked the truck side to side and there is a loud popping sound coming from he front end. i also notice it when the truck is first used and it slowly goes away. .and only when i hit bumps and turn??? any ideas. .i know my wheel bearings are a little loose but not bad enounh to make this sound. .so ideas??????

I'd get a friend to rock it the same way and you crawl under to pinpoint the noise.

Radius arm bushings?

i was thinking a bushing today but not sure yet

I agree, probably radius arm bushings. May also be shocks though. If the rubber is rotted on the bushings, it will pop as well.

I replaced the shocks and coils so i cant be that. so ill have to crawl and look at my radius arm bushings
