I've got a 97 dodge ram 1500 4x4 and I rebuild the front end a couple months ago and replaced all the shocks. It rides alot better but its not the smoothest ride when driving on rough roads. Here recently everytime I hit a pothole or something I can feel and hear a clunk in the floorboard. Any idea what that could be?
I didn't torque the shock bolts to 110, I just used a impact to tighten them up and yes I did replace the track bar maybe it needs some grease?
Yes, the new track bar requires greasing after installation with a grease gun. It also needs its bolts torqued to specs or bumps and rattles may occur. Double check the torque spec on the shock bolts, too. That could also cause similar bumps and rattles, if not torqued properly.
