Huge clunk driver side

Just did my front suspension and now I got this huge clunk whenever I hit a bump on my driver side and idk what it is I can't figure it out. I squared it away and idk what it is I need help

 

I did changed it to vertex shocks. Shocks don't feel bad or shot. Just a metal on metal contact I got freedom off-road uca

 

Loose alignment cam bolts can give you a big clunk, sometimes alignment guys leave them too loose if you had an alignment.

 

Did you get a spacer for the sway bar? Stock sway position can cause the endlinks to hit the front shocks/coilovers.

 

I did the relocation sway bar deal. Yeah I put it on

 

Well then I'm out of ideas lol.

 

I don't have any of that yet

 

Have you taken off your wheel and given it a visual inspection?

 

Only thing I can think of that may cause this is the sway bar bashing into your springs. I'd remove it or attach a go pro to your wheel well and see if that's true. Removing swaybar should take 15-30 minutes.

 

You left a socket wrench inside the fender?

 

If you just look for the scraped paint?

 

Lol if he bashes it enough. OP mentioned that he just had his lift installed.

 

Go back and double check your work.

 

Mine is real close to touching. I got away without the sway bar drop kit, but just barely.

I put a blob of red grease on mine where it was real close, and went out and drove it to see if it would transfer to the spring or seat, but it did not.

I have OME front springs that are slightly stiffer than stock and I have 5100s on the lowest clip setting. It’s only about 2” lift.

EDit….I just noticed that the OP has a GEN 3.

Did they change much in the front suspension from the gen two?

 

what did you do to your suspension? did you alter it in anyway?

 

I was getting a similar clunk from rock sliders hitting pinch weld.

 

Don't recall it being a huge clunk, but also check the torque on your sway bar link bolts. Only reason I say is because I had that on my gen1. It would drive me nuts and took way to long to isolate it. I had it pretty tight, but was just loose enough that when it popped when hitting a bump, I was getting a nice clunk out of it. You wouldn't think that such a small amount of movement would create such a fuss, but it did.

 

happened to me! and that shit became a nightmare for me, but that's another story. big clunk starting from a stop or weight shifting to the opposite side. LCA cam bolts in my case.

 

Dont know bad your clunk is but i had bad radiator body mounts had a loud clunk going over dips and speed bumps.

These are a replacement over stock

BEFORE you do anything else re torque the following to factory specs with the wheel OFF and truck on a lift:

All 3 top hat bolts
Lower shock mount bolt
Upper control arm bolt
Sway bar end link where it connects to spindle (high probability this is your clunk as it sits in a taper)
Spindle nut (also high probability as it too sits in a taper)
