    After checking all the obvious bushings and front end parts. If there is a distinct metal to metal cranking or squeeking remove the skid plate. It takes a 12mm, 15mm, 18mm and a hex head. There will be no more noise. Here is how I fixed it.
    1. Remove skid plate
    2. Clean skid plate
    3. Buy some nylon washers and silicone them where the bolts go so that the new washer is the only thing touching the frame
    4. Reinstall skid plate using loctite on all the bolts and the two nuts at rear
    5. Noise is eliminated.

    Email joecjames@verizon.net if you want pictures. Toward the rear of skid plate there were about (5) places that were rubbing metal to metal making the stressed noise.

    Nice job! You can post pics on here so it can be referenced in the future. The Pro skids are known to squeak and pop like crazy.

    Welcome btw!!

    I hear some popping noises close to the front end when I brake hard. Could that be the skid plate

    I have this also. While backing out of garage when i brake harder, pop! Then if i do it again going back it stops when braking. If i Then go fwd and brake, it resets it to pop in reverse when braking harder again.
