Steering clunk after 6" lift

Cheyenne14 · Jul 2, 2015

As the title says I have a clunk noise after installing my zone 6" lift. Its only when I am parking or turning around at slow speeds. When I turn the wheel either way and then turn it back something in the steering clunks pretty loudly. Anyone else have this?

Check the track bar and if there is a drop bracket check the bolts for that

Sound is coming from the front end

I was thinking of a 2500/3500 sorry. Check anything connected to the steering. Something isn't tight

Try your sway bar I know it sounds crazy but depending on how your are laying under your truck I believe the passenger side is reverse threaded. At least mine seemed that way and it was loose after my lift. I snugged it up and my clunk sound went away. Also you could jack your truck and shake all suspension components. You can even go as far a gopro zip tied to your suspension. Just ideas for you.

I have a feeling the sway bar is the cause. Thanks for the help!

Hey JCAR have you resolved this problem? I have benign living with it even though I have been under my truck a dozen times in the last couple months.

Im going to finally check it out tomorrow. Figured I'd pick your brain.

I have this same clunk with a 6" RCX lift. From all the reading most do say sway bar, I haven't got around to checking mine either though.
