Word to the wise! DO NOT LET THIS GO

 

Yea I've seen the other thread, was trying to find it earlier.
So yours was just completely shot. Lol
Mine has a few cracks but nothing like yours. You're the pro anything wrong with welding it up?
Especially because mine didn't happen offroad I was in a little fender bender that caused it. Been two years and basically the same

 

Use 14ga steel and stitch weld. You cannot throw too much heat into that thin of sheet metal

 

When things starts ticking. I just turn my music up louder. Hopefully you guys can find out what's wrong

 

Whitehorse 2626, don't know if you or dealership checked wheel torque. In my years of diagnosing noises, at times the source of the noise was a improperly torqued wheel. May sound too simple, but lets not forget the basics.

 

Interesting. That could be the reason for my clicks when I hop in and out of the truck.

 

I started jumping up and down on my passenger side front step and low and behold the sound was NOT from the rear leaf springs (which do have spacers from the Factory) but from the passenger front wheel. So I started spraying WD 40 into one part, jumping, another part, jumping. After most parts and it still squeaking, I sprayed everything else and the sound went away. Ill do some more testing once the sound comes back to get it right. Nothing looked broken or bent.
