Default Popping noise from suspension ?

Sometimes when I roll over an uneven surface that compresses the suspension I hear a single pop sound. Sounds like metal slapping underside of chassis. Anyone else have this ?

Yeah, I've had that too. Sounds like it's in the left front, but everytime I check the spring, shock and components around that area, I can't find anything. I also checked the right front but didn't find anything either.

I've got it too. I just changed the shocks and springs and the noise is still there. I'm taking both rear axles off this weekend to check the bearings and inner cv assembly. I'll post an update if this works out.

I think I have the same problem, except I only hear it on the right side when I make a left hand turn. Any ideas?
