Spacer lift resulted in a clunk

Here is what the problem and solution was for me.

Have your front brakes checked. Seems like when the brake pads wear, a small piece of the caliper loosens (towards the inside). My mechanic replaced my pads and resurfaced my fronts and the noise is gone.

I was freaked that this was a major problem from my 5100 lift, but that was not the case.

Thanks Jay, I knew it was coming from the front end. I am at 51k myself.

Although it appears now the driveshaft is also a noticeable concern down the road at some point. WE may have killed two birds with one stone here!

No problem. My brake pads were at 1/3 life remaining @ 40k miles. The mechanic showed me what the problem was with the loose piece. Total cost for everything was $139.

I researched the web and had lots of possible problems in my head. Luckily it wasn't what it seemed.

^ What loose piece are you talking about? This clank noise from my front end is driving me nuts. I hope it's not my 5100s
