Front end noise after 2.5” lift HELP

I see. Never seen it that way before unless they just changed it

 

I know it’s dark right now but if you can take better pix tomorrow that will help out a lot. If possible take the wheel off as well.

 

Just not sure how you can mess up that relocation bracket?? I checked it out.. it’s a 1” black aluminum block and resi bracket is above it.. I’d love it to be something that simple.. the squeaking (passenger side) went away this morning because everything was wet with dew.. now that grinding popping sound has progressed.. has me thinking it might be the spider gear mashing the needle bearing in the diff..

 

Just a thought... did they torque down the lug nuts... check those.

 

yea i took pics when it was dark.. I’ll try and get some tomorrow..

 

Yea will do.. i thought about that too..

It looks like it went down for some reason

 

Its either a issue with YouTube or here. I just tried to put a video clip in and it came up with the same message

 

relocation bracket

 

Thank you!! very useful

 

Why are us cali guys always to help out.

 

Been there done that and I got no help that I didn't have to absolutely beg for or drive 7 hours round trip to get.

 

Far end of San Diego... only person that was willing to help me put my 5100's on and we fix his upper control arm bushing on his TC'S.

 

Thank you sir... my issue is the concrete jungle and a 25 degree drive way.

 

I have him and timbo in a PM
Tim is 5 hours away from him but has made some good suggestions.
" Also he needs to check the upper ball joint to make sure the castle nut is tight."
"wondering if they didn’t put thewashers on the control arm. Maybe they did the outer ones and said screw the inner ones because they area b**** some times to get between theshock tower and bushing."

 

I had a similar sound (maybe less grindy and more jangly) a number of years back after a lift. I crawled underneath and it turned out the shop forgot to torque down the sway bar end links as they were no more than finger tight.

 

Thanks.. I’ve tried 4hi and sound is still there breaking. Same circumstances.. sway bar links appear to be tight although i didn’t try to retourqe them.. I’m headed for a proper alignment tomorrow. I’ll have them check all points on the front end.. fingers crossed hopefully it’s something painfully simple.

 

Wait a second.. there’s only two outer washers per uca (SPCs). I think total chaos has outer and inner washers SPC uses factory washers and bolts? Right?

 

No not on the new ones, they were having issues with stock washers or now it's only one I think
