    They are what set the alignment. Camber, caster. That one is way out of its home. Looks like its loose.


    Edit. Time for new hardware and bushings with lower ball joints

    Do you have a 19mm wrench, or 21mm? (Can't remember at the moment..)

    Check them yourself! That one that's upside down does look suspect

    To me it sounds like the skid plate.

    My bet is skid plate, I had the same noise and realized that the previous owner did not reinstall the spacers that go in between. This cause the most annoying rattles and bangs.

    I am running the Pelfreybilt plate bumper as well as the differential skid plate and yesterday I went under the truck to check the diff skid and it seemed pretty snug and tight to me unless its moving in a way that I cant move it while the vehicle is moving. I guess ill have to take it off today after work and see what happens when I drive it. Also I need to adjust that one camtab that is upside down and not in place right and see what that does as well.

    Can you adjust cam tabs while the truck is on the ground?

    Yes, but you're going to have to flip the tab right side up so it sits like the others. So... it would be safer to jack that side of the truck up.

    No the dust boot that is on your rack and tie rod has slipped off of the rack on the back side. You need to side it back and hold it in place with a zip tie or another clamp
