    Hellow everyone,

    first time posting here, Im writing from Mexico, I had installed a lift kit with new spindle & shocks in the front and blocks on the rear, but now I have this “clunk” noise when turning to left on the pilot side (3’ second in the video) I had check LCA and UCA and all seems to be good any idea what could be causing it?

    Welcome... is the top hat on the shock and the nut on top of the bushing secure, was the coil/shock assemble properly.... washer. Bushing. Top hat, bushing, washer. Nut?
    Is the spring seated properly?
    Did you get an alignment? The cam bolt may not be properly torqued.

    Yes, all related to shock (hat, washers, nuts) is ok, I had just torque the cam bolts to spec (150 ft-p) and the noise continues, the swipe bar has movement but it dosen’t seems to be the issue, not sure if somethinge related to the axle could be causing it

    Could be the sway bar, give those a turn if you can.
