I'll bet you have a Eaton posi traction unit inside the housing. If you will drain the oil out, wash it down real good with something like kerosene, and put some correct lube back into the rear end, the problem will go away. Look for a tag on the cover bolts of the rear end, and it will tell you it takes a special oil. If it was leaking and you had it serviced, they could have topped it off with the wrong oil for a posi unit. It takes a special oil to keep them from doing the popping thing. There is probably nothing wrong with the rear end, but it is annoying. This is caused by the clutches sticking, and not allowing it to run free in a corner. One wheel goes faster than the other around a corner, thus when the clutches stick, they will pop when they release, and they aren't releasing because the oil is not slick enough to make the clutches slip in a corner as they should. Even after you put the new lube/oil in the rear end, it may take a while before it frees up and goes to working properly. This is a pretty common problem with GM Suburban since most all of them has this rear end.
Glad I could help you. Good Luck!!!

Check that both tires on the rear are the same size.

u-joints at a shop are one hours hard artwork plus areas, parent 2 hundred put in for the pair, not 25.00. i could take it to a shop that does unfastened inspections to make certain what the wrongdoer is.

it could be bad ujoints on the driveshaft or the locking differential if yours came equipped.
the locking differential is known to make noises, and when it does, it usually isnt good. the official name for it is GOV-LOK, but they are such crap they have the nick-name GOV-BOMB.
because when it lets go, its like a bomb goes off inside your differential and takes out all the gears and such inside.

check shocks first . sometimes noises or over analized. start with the simplest first. any muffler and brake shop would do it for free.
