I'm a new member so I apologize if this is long or too much at one time. I have a 03 Durango 5.9 4x4 slt. I was having bad rattling front end. I did a lot of work over the summer. New brakes rotors. New shocks new upper lower ball joints. Outer sway bar bushings got 1.4 diameter to find out bar is 1.3 but used them cuz old ones had holes and figured these moogs were tighter than worn ones. Now still having some issues I'm having trouble figuring out. Seems like I need front end alignment outside edge of p side tire worn badly was before all the work. Pulls to right. Suspension still seems to not feel smooth. Steering seems weird noise coming from steering shaft feel it when driving and when driving I'll let go of wheel now and then and bounces back and forth. Pulling in a lot left or right I'll still feel clunking. Coming down hill wheels or wheel shakes like warped rotors but they're new. Just don't want to get an alignment to find out I have to replace something and then get it done again unless I should just to see if that's what's up. Can grab driver side tire and moves at 9&3 position but can't really see the tie rod move if anything inner outer slight movement if I grab lower coupler at rack I can turn it back and forth and when I pull up and down that sounds like the clicking I feel and hear. Now the new thing when I switch to four wheel in yard driving straight constant clicking.

 

Welcome to DF!

If the durango front suspension is anything like the Ram, loose shock bolts will give you an interesting rattle. They get torqued to some ridiculously high number.

Going to move this to the Durango section for ya.

 

Thank you
