    Hey everyone, I just removed my spacer kit up front and put 5100 billies up front at full extension(2.5"). All of a sudden, when going over bumps or flexing, I hear a knocking or clicking from each side. Any ideas on what this could be? 2002 taco. Also just replaced a ball joint but only on one side

    Recently put 5100s and OME 880s on my '03, started having knock/clicks on both side esp when making turns. Replaced sway bar end links and fixed the problem.

    Check the ball joints, and anything you touched during the install to be sure you didn't leave anything loose. It could be worn bushings in the uca/lca. When you lift it you change lots of stresses and angles and little gremlins start to appear.

    After my lift I found that my upper ball joints were shot so I got some Camburgs. They were scary loose. I then chased the rabbit down the hole and did all the bushings (steering rack too), tie rods (inner and outer). Basically the whole front end.
