3032E pop when using differential lock

I put the rear up on a floor jack yesterday to check the diff lock, works as advertised. So the pop I heard apparently didn't break anything.

I get a very loud popping sound on my 3046R when the diff. lock disengages. Loud enough for me to ask myself WTF was that? Then I remember that its was the lock (likely the spring lever) returning to position. When I get a chance, I'll look to see if that lock return is cushioned or if it hits metal to metal.

That very well may be what I heard. I was brush hogging the ditch and the tractor was in a very strange angle.
