Some time ago I posted about noise in the front suspension. I thought it was coming from the roll bar mounts and looked at the mounts and bushings very carefully and could find nothing that would make the kind of noise I was hearing, so I gave up and lived with it. Then, in the process of installing new front axles I notice that the upper ball joint boots were trashed and decided to change them out. After removing and replacing both joints I took a hard look at them and found that I could move the ***** up and down in the sockets almost a quarter of an inch. When I test drove the truck after putting in the new axles and ball joints the front end noise had gone away. So it was the worn joints all the time. Just a word to the wise. If you have banging in the front suspension take a hard look at your upper ball joints.

That's what quieted my front suspension... the upper BJs. New sway bar end links helped quite a bit too, so check your end links. Before the work, the front end used to clunk going over rough patches and speed bumps. She still drives quiet and tight today.

 

NO end links on my 4WD Quad, but thanks anyway.
