hey, as some of you know i ACCIDENTALLY /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif jumped the suburban about a month ago. now there is something clicking under the front end of the truck. /forums/images/icons/frown.gif every bump i hit, even on paved roads, it clicks. what could this sound be coming from? i'm gonna remove my sway bar in a week i'll see if that helps, but if it doesn't i don't know what the sound is. help me out here please. /forums/images/icons/frown.gif

Yeah, battery tray is very common. Just welded mine back up a couple weeks ago in the Suburban.

I jumped a sub once and broke a leaf. It would go clang, clang a little on bumps. Got worse with time, too, as it starting walking out of the pack. It was the one with the clamp attached to it.
 
thanks guys, i'll check it out. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
 
you might have broke something in your hub /forums/images/icons/frown.gif , mine was doing that, and thats what it was.
 
The suggestion of standing on the front bumper is a good one. Jump on it a bit to see if you can get it to click. If so you have a decent chance of hearing it well enough since the engine is off to be able to pin point where it's coming from or at least narrow down the area a bit.
 
the hubs are fine, the bearings are new and i've been wheelin since then and i was 4 wheel drive.
 
Maybe you got a visit from the "Locker Fairy" /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif Maybe you've got a bent flexplate and there's a bolt tapping your inspection cover.
 
i don't have a locker and i know exactly what's wrong with my flexplate. it's gettin replaced this year.
 
Check your front pads if thay rattle between the calipers and the roters or just get a lauder stereo.

the louder stereo is in the mail right now. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif /forums/images/icons/grin.gif
