    I think it's the suspension but I cannot tell. I also can't tell exactly where its coming from. I did have my steering rack replaced almost a year ago, but this noise just started happening a couple weeks ago. I tried retorquing my upper control arm bolt but that didn't make a difference. In the first part of the video I have the truck lifted where you can hear there is not a problem. Once the tires are on the ground it sounds terrible...any ideas?

    It ended up being my upper control arm uniballs. I lubed them up with some triflow and the sound disappeared for the most part. I replaced the uniballs a little over a year ago. I also ended up finding another video that had the same sound as mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL0mg_XUDzE
