Dreaded Clunk in front end
4 Years ago I replaced all sway bar bushings with the energy suspension ones. Got the clunk back on drivers side. Does this mean I need to replace them already or just loosen and retorque everything. Thanks.

Forgive the hijack....
Not satisfied with the Ranchos? Which ones are you running? I've been running Bilsteins for 3-1/2 years and am considering going with the Rancho 9000XL series.
I've also seen a thread or two mentioning unacceptable customer service from Bilstein on warranty issues.

Could be vibration related loosening of the bolts, BIG GUY. I would suggest using some blue loctite and see if that keeps things in place for you. Whatever you do, do NOT use the red loctite! Use BLUE.

Okay thanks man But im telling you its getting old and the shop even used a lock nut this last time. It holds for a few months then it must get loose again so weird but its one of those KNOCKS im getting used too. Every time i go back i tell them to tighten that damn nut again. Could it be cheap Bushings? i bought them at advance auto last yr..
Its that stupid top bolt on the fame holding the sway bar link on the front driver side.
RED sure why not LMAO thats like Welding it right? lol

My clunk at the moment seems to be the center link. I changed my end links a yr. ago, clunk went away. The same kinda sound came back. I did an oil change the other nite, & upon checking everything found the new source to be the center link. '99 F250 CC, 2WD.
