Lift kit noise

**bushmaster007** · 10-23-2018

I did a 6.5 lift kit on my 2500. I have a noise coming from the front driver side when the suspension moves. When I brake I hear it. When I turn and the floor is not completely leveled I hear it. It seems like some type of metal is making the noise. Has anyone got this before. Seems to have happened after I installed the steering stabilizers and that same day I had the truck aligned. Since that day I hear that noise. Also at the alignment place they adjusted the differential to move forward from the drop bracket bolts. Any ideas where it could be coming from?

Thanks

Welcome!!

Installing a lift kit can change so much under the truck it's hard to pinpoint noises without being there in person. I'd start with checking the clearances around the steering stabilizer since that was the last thing installed.

Also, what brand lift kit did you use and what other components were used on the front end. Every little detail will help.

I would start by double checking your work. Making sure everything is tight. Then going from there. Just cause something feels tight by moving it by hand doesn't mean its tight with 5k pounds on top of it. Lift kit companies suggest you retorque everything anyways.

One of the ways i like to try and pinpoint this is to start of spraying one bolt at a time that you think may be the cause of the noise. Depending on what kind of noise and once it stops or quites down then go from there.

I had a squeak on mine a few months back, about 8 months after installing my Carli Kit. Only heard it while driving so couldn't pin point it. Anyway, doing maintenance, I hit all my greas zerks, 2 days later, squeak gone.
Just a thought
