    Well I took the sway bar completely off and the clunk was still there. I put it all back together and it didn’t make the clunk until a turned the wheels to the left to back into the driveway.

    I had a clunking sound a few months after installing my camburg spindles. Found out the 2 bolts on the bottom of the spindle that connect to the ball joint/LCA had come loose. After tightening them back to spec the clunking went away

    @NOLAtaco26 is your brake line free to move? How do you have it routed? If you didn't strap it down to the spindle it's probably the brake line hitting the frame or the bump stop mount. You probably here it with a slow rolling left hand turn

    Any idea of the torque spec on those bolts? Mine came with no instructions, so I’m flying by the seat of my pants.

    Yes, it’s free to move. It feels like something is loose, but I can’t feel anything loose when I check stuff.

    Yes, they are stock. Can’t you run stock ones with a spindle lift since the geometry stays the same? Could it be the bushings on the stock one? I had to replace the inner tie rod afterwards because it was worn out. It just flopped when the outer wasn’t connected.

    Mine clunked some. I think it was the sway bar link hitting the brake line bracket.

    Yea que just curious. When I did mine I did uca. You already checked sway bar, stock uca, not the brakelines loose? Make sure the end links are torque properly is my next guess. Just double check em

    Re-torque everything just to make sure nothing is slightly loose.

    Rerouted brake lines per instructions. Did some trimming on the brake line bracket for extra clearance. Have been under truck while someone turns the wheel. No binding or rubbing visible. I have a buddy with an F150 with the Maxtrac spindles. He has the same sound. When he contacted Maxtrac they told him that there were no other reports of the issue and something had to be installed wrong.

    Checked the steer stop bolts like you said and torqued them to 112lbs. THE CLUNKING IS GONE! Thanks so much for chiming in!!

    Figured I would give it a shot. Set my trusty Harbor Freight torque wrench at 118 ft/lbs. From what the diagram I found on here said. Wrenched down on all 4 bolts and no clunking for now.
