Front end clank after Auto Spring 1.5" level / alignment.
Front end clank after Auto Spring 1.5" level / alignment.
Ok I know these trucks have been plagued with all kind of front end noises, ticks and bangs I've searched multiple forums and I guess my Gooogle-Fu has gotten weak over the years... anyway heres the run down.
I picked up a 14 SC FX4 I ordered the AS 1.5" level installed it and got the truck aligned. Soon there after I noticed the issue. When I'm stopped and turn the wheel left to full lock and then give it gas there is a loud metal on metal clank. It only happens at left full lock. Right side does not do it at full lock right.
Deos anyone have ay suggestions or ideas on how to fix this???
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated!
heres are two vids of the noise.

just bought an 04 f150 with the fabtech coilovers and mine does the same clanking noise, I took it to 4 wheel parts and and they said it wasn't the shocks which was my first thought so the tech recommended I go around all the bolts and tighten everything up, my thought is the sway bar is loose or bad but if you figure it out let me know and good luck
Look for anything loose as well as have someone turn the wheel with you up on front of the truck to try to pinpoint the sound. Look for anywhere something might be making contact with the control arm or spring.
