put new shocks on about 6mts ago. ive noticd this sound only once it started getting colder here. its only in the front. instead of trying to describe the noise i shot a quick video. if i push down on the front i can get the same noise. sounds like its from the shocks. not sure why or how.

hey man my dakota sounds the same way, i took it by the shop to get them to check it out and they told me it was the ball joints behind the wheels. he said the prices could vary but it wouldnt be more than 60 bucks

 

its actually my front sway bar bushings. in the winter they freeze up and are noisy as heck.

 

well there ya go, maybe thats wats wrong with mine and the guy didnt know what he was talking about.

 

just get underthere and start to yank on the front sway bar, i did that to mine and got the same sound.

 

Yeah, mine does the same thing. It's the only thing I haven't replaced in the front suspension so that will be next summers project. After I do that, the whole front end will be poly bushings and should last longer then the truck will. Plus greasable ball joints. I'm not about to keep replacing things in the front so I wanted it all done right.

 

yeah its its gotta wait till spring. not really worried about it. if you go with thoes moogs for the rear, your gunna love them.

 

Yeah, I originally planned on getting some over my Christmas break, buttttt wheels seem to have taken a priority lol. Although the rear bushings and links are too expensive. We'll see what happens.

 

pull a thunder and sell your head unit and speakers! haha.

 

It could be bushings, sounds more like it than a bad shock or ball joints.
