Front End knock
Ever since I got this truck I have noticed a knock when ever I was making a turn at a steep down hill angle. It use to just be at this one hill next to the house and the last few days it has been doing it a few more spots and today I just noticed it on some rough railroad tracks I cross every day going straight. I am pretty sure it isn't the 285s bumping way to loud, what could it be?
Thanks in advance guys and little E!

Justin, I about willing to bet you have some sway bar bushing going bad. You can check by removing your swaybar for a couple of days and see if you still hear the knocking. I finally went to poly bushing to get mine to stop.

No problem. I drove mine for almost 2 weeks without the swaybar, Just decided to wait on the new bushings before reinstallling it. Didn't notice much differance in the handling.

Just gotta watch going into curves at a high speed is all isn't it? Barry do you know the difference from a Reg 4x4 and an off road? Just upgraded suspension about it?
