    Once they replace my boot and all tomorrow I will try to pull the links with some liquid wrench or PB.

    I cant believe that is what was knocking for a month and a half now and I couldnt tell. I mean there are no marks on the components of the suspension, cv, axle, or LCA.

    baffled.

    Also still wondering where the sway bar relocation kit came from. I ordered my lift from wheelers and I dont remember there being a sway bar kit in there. But there are two black blocks on my under carriage that the mounts for the bushings were bolted to.

    It had to have been under torqued. I cannot think of any other issues that would cause this.

    So got the truck in at Pat Lobb this morning and the service tech was more than happy to fix the issues. He immediately called up the service manager adn explained what happened and they took the truck in and ordered the parts. Doing the whole fix for free as I hoped. It was clear that the bolt was not torqued to weight as called for.

    I will be checking the install tomorrow when I get the truck back.

    The sway bar is getting put back on but if it makes any noises or touches anything it is coming off and going in the garage.
