Default New problem lol

Alot of the people on here helps with the problem threads, as In the post people having issues with their trucks, and it really comes in handy lol for everybody.

And now I'm having a new issue when ever I come to a stop I feel a pop under the truck, coming from the front end. Someone told me CV joints and I've never heard of em.
But If anybody has any idea I would greatly appreciate it.

You have U joints not CV joints. You can check if your U joints are bad by twisting the drive shaft by hand with the vehicle in park, and see if the joints have any play in them. They should be solid and not be moving around. If its a 4x4, you will need to lift the front of the vehicle and spin the front tires to do a similar test and checking for any play in the joints.

Another thing you should check for is your radius arm bushings underneath the truck. The long arms from the front axles go to brackets towards the frame under the cab. If the bushing are out of place or the brackets are worn that will be your issue
