Did this happen at full lock?

 

Thank you.

 

No, it is happening at almost every turn, say past quarter turn. My wife said she heard it this morning when I left. It’s bad enough that I may have to find a garage. My 10 minute drive stressed me out every corner. You can feel something move/slide when it happens.

 

I can feel it, my son drove it last night and said it’s like something isn’t catching and then catches. I almost think it’s in the rear.

 

Hopefully it's not the axle moving around. Have you had a peek underneath?

 

Yeah that's definitely not the brake pad shift. Dumb but - have you checked your lug nuts? I'm still starting easiest to fix to hardest, I've had lugs back off after a tire rotation and I got home with 2 of 6 missing, and only 1 of the 4 holding the wheel was hand tight, the others were backed off.

 

Just a Quick Look last night, but I truly don’t have a clue what I’m looking for. If it’s not a bear, I’m not sure I’d notice.

 

It’s funny you say that, I was thinking that in the way in today. That is on todays list

 

Just do a quick bolt check and make sure everything is tight. That way you know its not going to magically disassemble itself.

Both ends of all 5 links and lugs should cover you for the rear. In the front both lca bolts, the lbj, and same for the UCA

Could just be a bushing thats wrecked too but as long as the bolts are in thats not really a safety issue

Luckily a 5 link has some built in redundancy other than the panhard(the lefty righty bar)

 

What size is the LCA bolt? I might be visiting Harbor Freight today.

 

Not sure, dont have those stock anymore.

I think a 17, 19 , 21 should cover you but I have no idea.

 

Your going to need a 22mm or 7/8" also

 

I might need the 21 and 22, thanks folks

 

If you have any big ol' socket set you might have everything you need already. I know I didn't have the 24mm I needed for my diff drain but I had everything else. But if you don't have them, definitely worth a go to get them so you have all the tools for your rig

 

I’m have a set that stays in the runner, just not sure about the bigger ones

 

Too Fing hot today, left the runner at work and went shopping instead.



Kolbalted up, I think I got the sizes covered. I am a little concerned that I got deep sockets, but it was the best way to get all the sizes I thought I needed.

 

Good assortment of sizes but you're right, always try to use a shallow socket on whatever you're doing.
