    Just finished one issue and another one became apparent after trying to get an alignment.

    After replacing passenger CV axle and installed heavier springs on my coil overs I went in for an alignment and they could't get the Caster into specs. They said they couldn't get the LCA to move in towards the center of the truck. It maxed out. They said the bushing would need to be replaced and or the whole LCA assembly. Through reading TW, it says seized or warn bushings could cause the rattle. But it sounds more rattle than the LCA shifting making a "clunk" like other videos showed.

    Read a few threads for the noise issue:
    1. Check break calipers
    -- just waiting for the sun to go down a little. Its too hot outside right now.

    2. More common - LCA bushing seized and LCA is moving causing the noise.

    What should and should not be moving if I jack the truck up and start using a pry bar to move things around?
