I had this problem on my 2000. I lubed all the fittings, especially upper and lower ball joints and the noise went away. Chevy wants you to lube every oil change. If you still hear the noise you'll have to replace. Check the Anti-Sway Bar bushings and where they attach to the A-Arm.

What causes clunking sounds after shifting into first gear and truck begins to move?
could be u-joints or a sloppy ring and pinion gear mating. The slack has got to be taken up somewhere. Without knowing the mils i would get under truck and wiggle up and down and side ways and twist by hand all the u-joints and look for wear even rust, that would be the cheapest fix
Brake pads are grinding 2 days after replacing pads when coming to a stop it shakes the entire vehicle then sticks when accelerating?
Sounds like the caliber is sticking. I recommend you replace the front calibers and replace the brake fluid with fresh fluid from an unopened can. The shaking probably means the rotors are warped. Replace the rotors and brake pads along with the calipers on your front brakes you should be fine. I would suspect that your brake fluid has become contaminated with moisture. This moisture will cause the calibers to rust and stick. Make sure you tighten the lug nuts to the torc specifications recommended for your vehicle. Over tightening the Lugnuts will warp the rotors.ANS 2 - If I had that happening 2 days after a change, I'd be looking very seriously about something being done wrongly. Possibly the pads are not fitted properly or are the wrong pattern.

I have Rheumatoidarthritis and what you describe here sounds like the inflammation I get in my fingers from time to time. I would suggest that you see your doctor and get checked out. Inflamation of the joints needs to be treated with an anti inflammatory to stop or at least reduce damage done to them. Left untreated serious damage can be done to joints. Ask to get checked out for RA.

What would cause a vehicle's suspension to make popping sounds?
I think your shocks are sticking or getting stuck as they move up and down. You probably need to replace them. It could also be that one of the components of the suspention is loose or worn out so check all of the bushings and ball joints.

Yes, dry ball joints can squeak a lot. When the lubrication on the ball joints wears off or becomes insufficient, the metal-on-metal contact can cause squeaking sounds. It is important to address this issue promptly as it can affect the handling and safety of the vehicle.

How do you fix spueaky ball joints?
Grease them, or replace them. Most new cars came with lifetime lubricated the ball joints. When you start hearing clanking sounds while driving the lubricant has dried out. Intense heat and cold will dry out life time lubricants. This is time to puncture the rubber covering the ball joint and inject grease the groaning sounds will be gone. Then apply silicone or permatax to the joint spaces where you punctured.
