    @bullaculla Hey bud, curious did this problem go from good to bad over night..? Reason I ask is am having a random clunk that sounds like what you had going on. I only have 21k on my truck. My clunk or thump only happens on the pass side.

    @mouse007 kind of. It started on the passenger side once in awhile, then got more frequent/predictable, and same on the drivers side.

    @bullaculla Oh..!! Man, this may be my problem... Would it happen more on lateral force (anything that jolts the truck left to right) at first...? For me it's light/medium and not every time, but it's there... Just as mentioned by @jtweezy I know his was the "Tie Rod" I'm sure you saw, you also posted this video on his thread. any input would help. Thanks..!!

    OH.. Sorry, didn't compliment the LCA, it's probably cuz am UBER jealous. :thumbsup:

    My tie rod clunk didn't happen on starts and stops. It looks like all the LCA bushing clunks happen on starts and stops as well as when the suspension cycles...and when you turn.

    Mine was specifically when lateral g-force was involved while turning. This included hitting a turn at speed or turning into a sloped driveway, and if something jolted the front wheel(s) like @mouse007 described. Only occasionally would it happen when going straight and hitting a smooth bump (like a small whoop).

    Great now I'm hearing an occasional clunk when reversing up my driveway. When the tires hit the beginning of the slope.

    Yeah, was mostly under hard braking. I started to get a feel on how hard I could brake without making them clunk. It would rarely clunk going around turns unless it was fast with a bump in the turn or something.

    I'm going to ram both my LCA's into a big rock over and over till they're bent. Then, it'll be justified.

    BTW! Big shout out to @YotaDan at wheelers off road for getting the total chaos LCAs, cam tabs, ext brake lines, and superbumps to me. We usually get screwed when shipping large of heavy items to Hawaii, but wheelers was great!
    Thanks again!
