Suspension Noise (with video)

I seem to recall i checked those as well, but, could have missed it. Really wanted J to change his lower shock bushing and say, yep, that was it before i went and did it!

 

Greased bushings?

 

Yep everything is greased.

 

Bushings not over torqued? It almost sounds like something is binding... It's hard to tell though 'cause the sound isn't directional in a video and some of the more metallic sounds can sound "plasticky."

 

I had a ford ranger that had a sound kinda like that.
Later found out is was my brake pad moving around in the caliper. Might try looking at that or You centercaps on the wheels make that noise somtimes

 

Nope they are to spec

 

My brake pads will do that switching from forward/reverse or otherwise. Supposedly the pads have some slip room and will "clank." Is the bearing good, OP? Have you tried lifting up the tire and rocking it back and forth?

 

I did this weekend. Nothing out of the ordinary. It's mainly when turning and hitting bumps at the same time

 

I don't believe it to be the brakes either. The brakes when they wear down some and get some play will 'click' if you will the first time going reverse/forward and applying them. Normal. They 'float'. Just changed my pads and rotors recently, that brake first 'click/clunk' is absent until they wear down more.

 

Did you torque the end links or just tighten them?

 

Torqued.

 

Balls. Was really hoping it was the end links lol

 

I'm baffled too. Haha

 

I'm having this exact same noise. I have checked/greased/tightened everything including removing and re-building the strut. I am 90% sure it is LCA related as that is only thing I haven't completely removed. I will post back here if I ever finally figure it out.

 

So it has been almost a year since u posted this thread. I have spent countless hours trying to find this noise. I have replaced the uniballs on the Icon UCAs to Delta Joints, still noise. Replaced uca bushings, still noise. Pulled sway bar and drove around, still noise. I am leaning towards it being a lower shock bushing on the driver's side. Any one have any ideas?
