Front end noises...
I know that there are a couple of threads on here about this. Everything in my front end is SOLID. I replaced the sway bar links and bushings. Still the noise. I do not have carpet in the truck (have the plastic floors). So I was thinking of tearing that up and checking the cab mount bolts. The sound is a very loud clunking over bumps. And there is also another noise, its a slight squeak in the front end. If I am reading correctly this could be the plastic pieces between the springs. Any other things that I should be checking since it will be on a lift at my work?

I got the same damn problem- I'm not complaining about the trucks ride, otherwise I woulda bought a car. But EVERY little bump is accented and felt through the floorboard. I actually have a little vibration from my harmonic balancer going out (changing today) but I would love to stop the bump issue.

Check all the cab mounts. What year is it?
Many of the first few years of Superdutys had a thump. Retorquing the cab mounts helped it. I think there was even an updated cab mount bushing kit...

2001 PSD 4 wheel drive. I really sounds like a front component. I just can't nail it down. I read in another post to check the sway bar link. I'll check that and also the cab mount bolts. I saw that in another post too. I'll check those and let you know.
Thanks

Krewrat- how do you go about checking the cab mounts- do I just take a torque wrench to them and try to re-tighten to specs? If that doesn't work, do yo know who sells mount bushings?
