    Hey guys,

    I’m back with another noise. I’ve learned to live with the constant ToB chirp but this noise concerns me a bit more. Sounds like metal clanking and vibrating when coming to a stop. Does not matter if the brakes are engaged. Pads and rotors were changed today and my UCA ball joints were changed last week.

    Do you have skid plates? Kind of sounds like the exhaust is rattling against skids.

    that kind of noise seems like you can get under and start wiggling and banging with your hand and find it.

    You mention you did brakes and ball joints, did you bend the rotor backing plates? I hear a rubbing and a clanking, both could be caused by the backing plates being bent.

    Trucks been lifted

    I don’t think it’s the fan I’ve wiggled down there a lot and can’t seem to find it it’s driving me nuts. Might have to take more videos in different spots to pin point it.
    Going to check backing plates again
