Front end problems.

[MoparSickness77]

I leveled the truck out with the rancho quick lifts about 4 months ago and Im starting to feel like I got a bad ball joint again. Kinda feel and hear the noise of either the ball joint, sway bar link, or tie rod end. Ill check it out more specifically when I get some time.



I'm wondering since the level is probably adding a little more stress on the components then it would stock is it normal for parts to wear out quicker? And if so is there anything I can upgrade to that would make things last longer?



I replaced all front end parts during the summer so I know they should be good still.

I pretty much rebuilt my entire front end when I did the level as well so I feel your pain. However I don't feel like you should need to rwplace anytjing after only 4 months with just a level?! The ball joints have always been an issue at least with the second gens. Jack the front end of the truck up and put one hand on the top of your tire and the other hand on the bottom of the tire and rock it back and forth. Its theres slop and play in it its time to reolace the ball joints again

Yeah I plan on it. Did you rebuild the front end with higher grade parts? I have all moog in now.

I used moog as well theyre about as high quality for oem replacement parts as it gets. Never looked into upgrades though. If you come across any let me know!!
