When I go over rocks or decent sized dips, I hear a faint knock come from the undercarriage on the passenger side from what it sounds like. It's only just now started making that noise. What could it be? Suspension issue, control arm, frame, driveshaft? I've gotten under it and I have checked everything where I thought the sound was coming from and couldn't find anything wrong. I'm new here btw. Can anyone help?

Have you checked your swaybar endlinks/bushings?
Thank you, I will get to checking that.
When I bought it, both in the front were snapped so I bought some Moog links and polyurethane bushings so I wouldn't suspect that'd be the problem. The rear bar, links, and bushings are just fine.
I know this reply is way late but that was the problem. The drivers side link was knocking against the bar itself because it was obviously shot. I removed the links and I didnt hear it anymore but bought other ones as I do tons of highway driving and dont want to roll around too much. How does yours do around 60-70 mph with the rear disconnected. Thanks btw.

I would not roll highway or surface streets without your rear sway bar... especially if somebody else drives the vehicle.
I do not have my front sway bar installed. Just have to remember your driving a truck

I have my front connected and rear disconnected. Yep, the backend wags around a bit. I'm working on getting it back in, but as per usually, every bolt 12mm and smaller breaks off and needs to be drilled out.
After driving without sway-bars for about a year now, I would strongly suggest leaving them in if your mostly driving on pavement. While driving on the hiway was actually pretty good (smoother than normal roads) on some bumpy side streets with sharp corners it can get really dicey.

I have only driven it a couple times on the freeways here and it drives fine if you're going straight but way too much roll for a daily driver. If I had to do a lot of highway driving I would invest in some good disconnects for the best of both worlds. Good luck.
