    Suspension groaning & popping

    We purchased a GD Imagine 23BHE in September 21. It has less than 500 miles on it and when rolling loud groaning and occasional popping noises can be heard coming from the axle/suspension area. It happens on smooth blacktop and is much worse on rough surfaces and when making turns. I crawled underneath and did a visual inspection of springs, bolts, welds etc. and see nothing obvious. I'd appreciate it if you all could take a look/listen to the attached video and tell me your thoughts.
    Thanks - Mike

    I don't think I'll download a file I know nothing about. The movie file won't just run. Maybe an issue with how it's hosted?

    Couldn’t watch your video without needing to download something but it is likely normal
    The suspension are the basics
    Many people make a suspension upgrade their first mod adding wet bolts and a better equalizer
    I haven’t done this yet because I don’t worry about it
    I may next year though

    I am sure my bushings are completely gone

    Downloaded fine for me. That isn't right. Don't know if you have wet bolts to grease, if not, shoot some spray can lube at it. With no wet bolts the plastic bushings are toast.
    Open a ticket with GD if you still have warranty left.

    It may download fine, but I don't download files I'm not familiar with. Good way to end up with nasties on your machine. I'll watch online, but not download. Just me.
