greetings , I just bought a used 2002 F150 that has a fab tech coil spring suspension set up and fox shocks,sounds cool right ....kinda , cause what seems to be happening is the mount bracket located on the frame has enough play to allow the entire arm assembly to rock in the bracket about a 1/4 of an inch back and forth . the noise it makes is horrible popping clunk noise that can be felt through the floor. I cant find any information on how to repair ......Any thoughts?

 

Just for starters, have you tried tightening it up or having a shop do it if you don't have the tools to torque it properly?

 

The bolts are very tight , but i dont think even if they were loose they should be able to move that far. Unless they are in a slot rather than a perfect round hole

 

I think the arm fits well , some how tje brackets have become wallered out , how could fix that and maintain correct toe alignment

 

Iirc they are slotted, allows for the adjustment during alignment. However the bushings could be shot and no longer a perfect hole.

 

It makes sense ill have too look into bushing that fit the after market aarm, thanks

 

i did notice that there is not any type of cam washer ...its just a standard bolt and washer set up what would keep the arm from moving ....im really no good with this stuff but ill try to add some photos

 

ahhhhh

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you can see recent travel in the paint thats been scraped off , how would you correct this . i was thinking about welding a plat to the out side of bracket and getting a longer bolt , then i thought how would i get the holes in the correct place for proper alinement
