Noise makes me wanna set truck on fire

GreenGoblin · Oct 31, 2016

I have a vibrating noise when I turn left at about 15 to 20 toward the front of my truck that's driving me nuts!!! Sounds like a loose bolt rattling but I can't seem to pin point it. I know it's under the truck, sounds like the driver side but I'm not sure. I do have a shock leaking on that side but doesn't look like it's the cause of it I can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

Bought the truck brand new 2015 RAM 1500 Laramie no accidents and have a zone 6" lift with stock rims and 35" kumho Mt. I've had the life a year with no issues an now got a rattle.

ah see you threw some more variables in there. I would replace the shocks..go with something better like bilsteins since you're most likely on stock shocks. Then check out the wheel bearings, then ball joints upper and lower. Steering rack, and so on. Process of elimination

I have some of the rancho quicklifts I just haven't installed them yet. I originally thought it was my side steps but I checked up an down an it's not them. It sounds like something really thin like the little metal piece on the brake calipers that keep the dust off but it's odd to me it's only when I turn left

since you cant identify where it is coming from i would really just start with what you know is wrong. While you're swapping the struts i would just check the dust shield

Take it in and have the dealer look at it

If he wanted to spend the money to have the dealer look at it he probably would have. He obviously came here looking for some friendly and free help/advice.

Yea I'd rather stay away from the dealer's they USUALLY are idiots but there are some good ones.

Also check your front end links. When one of them go bad or get loose, they like to rattle over certain bumps or angles.

10-4 will do. I'm hoping nothing is gonna be bad after 25,000 miles but obviously something is
