Need new front sway bar end links

[mizak82]

I lifted the truck 2.5/2 and I am getting some clunking noise pulling in and out of parking spots and going over bumps.. 112k miles.. most of the suspension is new.. UCA/Strut/sway bar bushings/wheel bearings... I replaced the rear end links with moog 2nd gen because they are longer than the 4th gen one.. I was told I was suppose to have a slightly shorter end link than stock in the front based on the angle??

anyways looking for my best replacement without breaking the bank..

thanks

This is what solved my clanging up front, which occurred at full lock (rt).

For what its worth.... I was also getting a clunking sound when I backed out of parking spaces or went over a bump in the road at low speeds. I had put on a new front/rear suspension a few months back and had the alignment done as well. The noise started a month or so after that. I changed out the sway bar bushings at first, no luck, the clunk still occurred. I was just about to order new end links (may end up doing it anyways) when I saw a post on here suggesting that re-tightening up the LCA bolts might be the issue with the clunk. A quick (and easy) check revealed that mine were indeed loose. After torquing to spec, no more clunk. I'd suggest you look at the LCA bolts, particularly if you recently had some suspension work done on the truck. Cheap fix. Good luck!

Aren’t those the alignment bolts?

i still need new links all around but i'll probably just get some OEM jams.

Make sure you are checking your lower control arm bushings. Those can cause a clunk too.
