Default Suspension Noise Help

Ok so when I come to a slow before I stop there is pop on the front right side, so I had a couple ideas but I'm not sure. The other part that is bothering me is when I'm driving down the interstate the front right of the truck goes down faster than the rest and keeps bouncing which makes the truck be all over the road. My answer is the front right shock needs replaced, but what is the pop noise from? Any opinions will be great thx.

Shocks alot of times will begin to pop when they're dying/dead. Probably just the shock giving you the trouble. You might also want to check out the sway bar end links on that side to make sure thats not causing the swaying/dipping problem, nor the pop.

Take a good look at your control arm bushings, the popping you are hearing could very well be the whole control arm moving as the truck's weight shifts as you're coming to a stop...good luck man.

A friend of mine said something about bent control arms too. I already had shocks in mind but I didnt think or know if it would stop the pop...

Check your swaybar bushings. Mine used to pop and knock until I changed those. But definately change your front shocks first. then if it still pops go from there
