3rd gen Taco sway bar.

This may have been said or talked about already, but I'm not finding it. So don't be mad at me. Thanks. Mt 2017 I have Bilstein in front adjusted all the way up , and add a Toytec ADL in rear for a total of 2.5" lift. Been hearing some kind of clunk in front end when on the road and off when hitting speed bumps harder than normal or wheeling hard. I spotted a rubbing mark on the strut which is removing the decal on the strut. Do you still have to relocate the sway bar at only 2.5" lift? The other thing I'm thinking it may be the stock top strut mounts making this noise. Are there anyone out there that has had or know of these issues. Thank you.

 

Your upper arms maybe hitting the strut. Jack it up and let the wheel droop see if its hitting. Usually means the upper ball joint is going. (if this is the case)

How many miles?

Do you have a skid plate?

 

Not possible they are icons not stock

 

Short answer is yes
Put in a sway bar relo - it’s easy and inexpensive and will bring back into the correct angle for the sway bar
What UCAs do you have ?

 

Ok thank you overland Charlie
And that is just the block correct?

 

Icon tubulars it's the black series with a Delta joint

Yep just a block relo - Toytec sell a good kit

 

Thank you I'll be getting very soon. Do you think it could be the strut plates I know it showing a rubbing make most definitely from sway bar? I'll get the sway bar moved first then see if I still hear the noise .

 

Can you pop us a picture and we might be able to tell. One other thing you could do is drop sway bar off and drive around the block and see if it is making noise or the noise is gone .
Also what sort of clearance do you have to your wheels from the UCASs. You sure no rubbing there ?

 

Wheels are Methods I'm running a 285/70-17 and there is plenty of room there I can stick my hand between it fingers at least they are not stock wheels.

 

10/4 just figured I’d ask
I really think I’d do the sway bar drop and start there
So hard to tell without seeing things
I will say I have not had the same experience you are having with or with the relo but I was getting rub marks on my springs ( before I switched to coil overs ). So clearance is an issue with modified suspensions and no sway bar relo
Hope that make sense

 

Makes perfectly good sense. Thank you again for all your help. I'll be getting this stuff swapped out soon trust me

 

OverlandCharlie I got my sway bar relocation kits in and it make a big difference in the spacing. I'll be going out this weekend and see how they workout and let you know . Thanks again.

 

In the pic you can see the decal rubbed off .

 

Hear is the decal rubbed off

 

Glad it solved your issue !
