Possible Mod Day - Suspension Install

ride is smooth, almost stock-like, but maybe little bit stiffer.

I noticed this morning when I was driving into my work parking garage that I could hear like a ticking noise, only when I went over small bumps/holes. not sure where it's coming from exactly, but it's the front for sure. took a look under to see if anything was loose, but I didn't see thing obvious. gotta check again when I get home. any ideas?

 

do you know which side of the truck it's coming from?

could be the new springs settling after installation.

 

I was trying to figure that out today while I circled my parking garage. hard to tell cause the sound echoes around... I might have my wife drive it up and down our street so I can figure out what side.

I don't know if it matters, but it's not like a scraping or hard metal to metal contact noise. so you could be right, maybe it's just settling in

 

here's a quick picture I took after I surfed this morning on the west side.

 

if you have some moly spray lube, you could hit the top of the strut and the bottom shock bolts, see if that helps.

 

I don't have... where would I be able to get that?

 

I got some from ace hardware, I think home depot or even napa or o'reilly's should have something comparable too.

could probably use wd-40 as well, but it might wash away faster.

 

Text me.. 808-306-7007. I'll help you try and take a listen.

 

Home Depot, city mill got them. It's called tri flow in a black spray can, can't remember the name. It has orange writing on top the can.

 

Truck looking good. Glad to see another white taco out there

 

When my front end was creaking, I had my wife repeatedly drive my truck in and out of the garage while I held on to the skid plate as it dragged me back and forth

:edit:
that sounds wrong

 

says the man with a bad back.

 

so last night, I got home around 11 and decided to take a look to see if there was anything hanging or loose. turns out, the bolts in the swaybar brackets were loose, so the bar was banging itself on the bracket . it wasn't super loose, which kinda explains the noise not being too loud, but loose enough to have some wiggle room.

tightened the bolts up, and the noise went away

 

eww. Bad workmanship. I wouldn't go back to that shop. We should bad that shop too and place it on the unmentionable list.

 

SOOOOO did she do it nice and fast or nice and slow or did she mix it up haha

good to hear

IDK about that.. that place lets me drink there

 

good find. was it both sides or just one side?

next time i'll bring my tools out of the truck too, sharing tools is no bueno.

 

I wonder how much they were drinking at the time of installation!

 

Lol..

 

Too many hands in the pot...

 

one side was a little looser than the other. wasn't anything real major though, but I only found it cause I grabbed the swaybar and gave it a few pulls and heard/felt it move a little. I assumed that was it cause everything else was solid.
