front end rattle
Hello, I am new to the site. Recently purchased a 98 F-150 Supercab 4x4 with a 4" Trailmaster lift(I know, I know), but anyway I recently replaced the center support link for the draglink bar along with new tie rod ends and lower ball foints. The uppers seem to be ok. The thing is there is something rattling when you are driving on bumpy roads and it seems to coming from the front. I have tried to find it, but to no avail. It drives fine and passed inspection last week, but it is really annoying. Anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks.

Thanks guys. The bushings at the end of the sway bar need replaced. They aren't real bad, but they need tightened and are worn a little. I'm a little scared to try and tighten them. I sprayed them with wd-40 but they are really tight. I'm afraid they may snap. But anyway thanks again for the advice.

Thanks bigdad. Just checked, and the bottom bushings are SHOT. You can grab the shock at the bottom and move it all around. Yet one more thing to add to my list. Still have to adjust the torsion bars, just have to wait a couple weeks so I can afford to do the shocks, AAL or blocks, and a front end allignment all at once. Thanks again, both of your suggestions have been part of my problems with the rattle.
