I've been dealing with a popping sound at full droop on the front end for over a year. I was just too dumb to figure it out until last week.

It's an easy job except my driver side was wore so bad the this brass Bushing was a b**** to get out. It came out easily on the passenger side but it wasn't wore as bad. These shocks have 7500 miles on them and the popping started probably at 3000 miles. If I would have replaced them earlier it would have probably taken an hour to do both sides. Drivers side took me over an hour to get that brass Bushing removed. $41 in parts.
