Alright... installed belltech front 2inch drop springs, edelbrock shocks, napa cam bolts, and new rotors and brakes as long as I was under there.

Anyways, had not noticed this noise at first, for all I know it wasn't there, but I am now getting a good metal rattle over bumps. Seems to be confined to each front wheel. Checked everything twice (minus the cam bolts, but they seemed to be still be tight, as I tightened them all twice, and they all have about 3 some threads coming out past the nut). Tightened nut around the top of the shock, loosened it a bit. Tightened all brake bolts a decent bit. Went back today and tightened up the bolt holding on the rotors/bearings (even though they are not supposed to be very tight).

Anyways..... I did put the rubber grommet? in the exact same spot it was on before. This is a good metal rattle for a second or two after I hit a bump. Checked all lugs too. New brakes went on as well.

So.... any ideas? The search didn't pull anything up similar to this, so I don't know what check or do. I've retightened everything (minus the cam bolts) that I untightened (um... same with the anti roll bar as I realize it).

Anyone with this problem? What fixed it? Could I grease something up atleast?

 

Check your lower shock mounts usually they need to be tightened with an air ratchet. I had the same sound on my 99 4x4 basically trial and errored everything else out. Tightened them with an impact wrench and the noise went away. Just my experience......worth a shot.

 

Well I'll be a dumb sum bitch. Thanks midnight, took care of that nice and quick, and it was a good easy fix. Course I had to use a 24inch breaker bar to help tighten up those little bolts. Thanks again
