[QUOTE="Sliderpilot, post: 1518458, member: 27828"] Ok, I know everyone is burned out of the front suspension clunking topic, but I've got a head-scratcher here. I would call myself a non-off-roader, and with the truck at 90,000 miles, I was beginning to get some components wearing and was tired of some clunking going on. So I decided to do everything, replacing pretty much the whole front end with brand new OEM parts, UCA's, LCA's, bushings, tie rods, top hats, Geiser springs, etc., and making sure all of the torques are in spec. I did not change any steering components due to them being very sound and solid. So the only thing not new was the newly rebuilt shocks with all the options & correct nitrogen psi from my favorite shop in the country. My ride drastically improved, but still have a little bit of the clunking going when going over short jagged bumps that is still driving me crazy, even with running my tire pressures on the low side. When I posted this on a couple of the other Raptor Forums, the guys kept going back to the shocks, and that I would hear & feel a difference with a brand new OEM/Fox shock versus any rebuilt shock. I pretty much discounted that theory and I have returned to my shop to have everything re-checked and re-torqued. And when the guys that did all the work test drive my truck, they are now leaning toward the shocks, even though there is no leakage and the psi's are right on. So I thought I would turn to the professionals on this Forum for any thoughts. Thank-you very much! [/QUOTE]
