Is this noise normal? 60 second video of my suspension "clicking".

I recently had some new suspension upgrades put on. Looks and feels great. However there are some new noises coming from both sides up front. If I had to guess it’s coming from the Upper Control Arms?

Also I notice that in the morning when I first start driving I hear nothing. But when I get to work 10 miles away I start to hear “clicking” sounds. Not loud, but I can hear them.

I thought perhaps I’d get some more eyes/ears on the case. I’m just trying to find out if it’s normal and nothing to worry about or if there could be an issue.

Maybe try taking out the sway bar see if that helps or double check the sway bar isn't hitting anywhere.

 

Definitely not normal. Something is either loose or some components are hitting each other.

 

How high did you go with the lift?

It almost looks like the coil is too tall, or the spring is sitting on a setting that is too high for a taller coil which would cause the UCA to angle downward too far..........potentially causing stress on your ball joint and/or UCA.

Or maybe it's just the camera angle.

 

Really hard to tell by the video but in person you should be able to narrow down where it’s popping at. Definitely not normal. My first thought is to make sure the shock is bolted down properly. It almost looks like the top mount was moving and not tightened down all the way.

 

Yup, I talked to them this morning and they are going to work me into their schedule asap so they can look at it.

 

Check your sway bar end links. Not just the torque, but the joints. They are notorious for wearing out & making noise. Especially with the lift. Ive replaced mine twice. Glad the shop got you in to have a look at it.

 

Get everything the shop touched to be torqued down to proper specs.

 

Damn... that would drive me bat shit. Best of luck mate.

 

What was the issue??

 

Good job on the video. I have no clue what going on with your rig, but several people here have fixed abnormal front suspension sounds by properly torquing the LCA bolts.

 

OP was last on here over two years ago...this thread is three years old.
