Suspension Noises

I am trying to determine what is making this popping noise. I sent this video to Morryde and they said there was no problem. I am beginning to think leaf springs. If this is source what can be done to stop the popping. I have sprayed with lubricant but that has not helped. Popping is coming off both sides. This happens when hooked up or unhooked and raising and lowering front jacks. I can not upload video but you can see it. Google cre3000 ratcheting.

Thanks for any help

Standard leaf springs will do that but if you install a heavy duty shackle and wet bolt kit it will minimize it. If you dont have them I would also install a MorRide 4000 system with the cross stablizer bars to stop stress on the shackle brackets when turning.

I should have noted that I do have the Morryde heavy duty shackles and wet bolts installed. My previous 2 campers did not make any noises except when making a sharp turn. This camper does it with any type of movement. It is also a lot louder since the manufacturer replaced one of the axles, springs, and brakes. I have wondered if manufacturer overtightened the u-bolts if that could be a potential cause.

Thanks for the reply.

Inspect the spring hangers very closely where they attach to the frame to make sure you don't have any cracks in the frame or bad welds.
