I made a road trip to Panama and did some unpaved roads with my new 2011 1500 5.7 4x4.
I hit slow a hole in a bridge with a rebar inside and sliced/blow the passenger side front tire, so i changed all for tires to Toyo Open Country AT 305/55/R20.
Installing the tires the shop discovered that the opposite side wheel bearing is having play and need to be replaced.
So far, so good, very comfortable to drive!
Over the time a noise became more and more evident as a hearable (but not loud) banging or rattle coming from the driver side wheel well or behind it under the truck.
It sounds like a thicker piece of steel or bracket hitting the frame when i hit a hole with the driver side tire. I exclude the possibility that it's the wheel bearing or parts of the suspension as they are under load, it sound more as a loose bracket or something like this.
I crawled under the truck and checked for visual signs but could not find any loose parts or worn bushings who could provocate this noise.
Does somebody had a similar issue with his truck?
Thanks!
