Loose shock -- Is this a sign that I need a refill?

Hello all,
I recently noticed a clunking noise coming from the from passenger side. I jacked up the truck and inspected everything and noticed that my shock is loose. I can easily rotate it with my hand.

In my opinion, this is where the noise is coming from. It only occurs from a dead stop to about 5mph. If I accelerate really slowly, it does not happen. But, if I accelerate fast, it sounds like "click click click click" until I get to about 5 mph.

I have Walker Evans with Remote reservoir installed on my 06 double cab.

I made a short video showing how easy it is to rotate the shock with my hand.


Is this a sign that I need a refill on the remote reservoir? or is there a bigger problem here?

Thanks.

 

Your bearings need to be replaced. And due for a rebuild if you have that many miles on them.

 

x2 those uniballs are shot. Super easy fix though. They are a little spendy but not too bad.
Basically pull shocks off
unbolt top hat.
pull snap ring
pop old uniball out.
install new uniball with some anti seize.
reinstall
Bob's your uncle.

I would do all 4 while you are at it.

over and out
