    My truck has started clicking when I drive through a dip like when turning left onto another street and there is a water gutter, the smooth type not a rigid square type. I can’t nail down which side or if it’s both. Sometimes over a speed bump if I drop off the backside and the front end cycles a bit it’ll click. It’s like the sound of whacking two drumsticks together. Any ideas? Truck is stock 4wd Sport.

    My 2017 DCOR does the same thing. I’m thinking of replacing both shocks

    @.jake how many miles do you have on the brake pads and rotors? Only reason I ask (and this is way out there), I have a co-worker buddy with 2.5 gen and he had a weird nose up front too. Turned out to be the guide pins for the brake pads. They were clogged with something that didn't let the pads glide freely.

    But no! The struggle is still real. I’m planning a body mount check soon

    It is loose body mounts most likely. They loosen off within the first year and start clicking. Tighten all four and the problem with go away. You can do this yourself.
