    Hey guys, I was able to record this clunk/knock sound I’ve been trying to find for months on the front end suspension

    new parts recently:
    Steering rack with inner and outer TR
    Front struts
    Swaybar bushings

    I’m wondering if it’s a ball joint on upper or lower control arms? This is recorded on the passenger side. I did driver side too but the sound is louder on passenger side. Any help is appreciated I’m no expert, but I try to do most work myself on this truck as much as possible. TIAhttps://youtube.com/shorts/a_m7Nqrpyik?si=qev_TNhSrK7-Iqhg

    Have a similar issue, I believe it to be the skid plate.

    If this just started and you did that work I am assuming you got an alignment done after words. I would ensure that the lower control arm mounting hardware at the frame is good and tight. I just recently had an issue where I would get a popping sound during certain situations and I just went and tightened them a little more and it has seemed to stop.
