    Need help diagnosing this annoying noise from the front suspension. I have torqued everything and just replaced the radiator body mount bushings. Happens when going over small speed bumps and easily replicated by moving the truck side to side. OME suspension with JBA UCA.

    LCA and all bushings seems to be in good condition.

    That’s a good one. Glad it’s easy to replicate. You should probably be able to feel that. I’d have someone rock the truck while you place your hand on components and see if you call feel where it may be coming from. Sounds like something binds then let’s go.

    I put my hand over the UCA and over the shock mount and you can “feel noise” just the same.

    Are OME shocks know for making any noises when bad? These are 10 years old but with probably 20K miles in them.

    Take a look at the front swaybar for contact marks on the strut if there is no relocate bracket, or in the middle of the swaybar on the skid supports if there is a relocate bracket.
