Hey all. Long time since I've been on here. I have a 01 Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 and I recently replaced the front shocks with Rancho 5000's. My problem is when I drive it now sounds and feels like something is banging on the floorboard of my truck. When i bounce on the front bumper I can feel the banging throughout the truck on all parts of the body and on the steering linkage. When I replaced the shocks I undid the stabilizer links and lowered the front diff then moved the coils so I could pull out the shocks. I replaced everything as it was so I was hoping some of you had an idea of what my problem might be. Thanks for any help

 

Make sure your sway bar is centered, and not off to one side, clipping your upper coil mount.

 

that would make sense. when i tightened the one side the link turned a bit so it prob pulled the sway bar off to the right

 

Also, make sure they is no play in the bushing at the top of the stock.

 

So I just worked on the truck. I pulled the sway bar to be centered, and I checked the bushings and still I have a slight banging. It got better but it is still there. Also I noticed a squeak in my dash, and it pinpointed it to the steering shaft in the engine bay just before it goes through the fire wall. I keep spraying it with WD-40 and Super Lube and it helps momentarily. Any idea on that as well? Help greatly appreciated
