Suspension rattle

[cab33]

Anyone ever have issues with the front suspension starting to rattle?

Mine has started to make noise like something is loose when I go over bumps.

I had more of a creaking/groaning, not necessarily rattling, from the front suspension. One of the ball joints just needed a little extra grease. It must have just been fairly dry from the factory. That one was easy to find with the hood open and a buddy loading and unloading the suspension.

I had a crazy rattle in the front and it turned out to be the X-brace was loose. Weird.

Hear the ball joints are crapola and moog is a higher quality replacement if that's the culprit

It was the X-brace.... thanks!

It was the X-brace.... thanks!

Awesome. Glad I could help. I know it scared the crap out of me, and I was so relieved when I figured it out.

What wrench pressure was applied for the fix to the x brace?

The spec says X-brace...15 ft. lbs.
