if you can somehow position your jack under the lower control arm and lift it up(so the tire will be closer to the position its in when its on the ground) you might be able to find it....?

I've done this and had it just barely off ground with pressure on lower controll arm and no tick. I'm lost. And thanks for compliment. I can't wait to bring it to the next Florida meet. Any word on the next

were the lug nuts loose? you should re-torqe the nuts that hold the spacers to the hub at least once after you install them.

They werent grabbing enough thread. I bought them from all pro off road I think. And they sent me a set of tapered nuts but I didn't know I needed them till now. After I torques them the noise is almost completely gone. So today I'm changing out for the tapered ones in hopes of a complete fix. Thanks for your help
