metal to metal

[soccerking09]

So I got a lift kit about a year ago. Everythin was goin good until I started hearin a bad metal to metal sound every time I go over a bump. Its only on the front 2 wheels though. I've been told its possibly my bushing. Anyone know more about this

Is this yours as well? ^^^

Be sure to post these together! They seem related so we could probably knock that out for you. It'll get answered asap but it won't help faster. Also, check tires for anything. I recently had a stupid clicking and it was 4 nails in the tires... (ridiculous. I know.)

Yea it is my post. My bad. I'm new to TRS so I'm still tryin to figure out how to work this. But my tires are fine. ive checked them already.

the clicking maybe sounds like bad cv's

check all nuts and bolts... see if they are tight.
look for slack anywhere.
get someone inside the truck to turn the steering wheel side to side slightly while you are under the truck looking at the steering parts, check for slack in anything.. fix as needed (don't use your gf or wife for this if she's mad at you at the time.... you under the truck, her in the driver seat...not smart!)
check all bushings, grease anything that has a grease zerk. as mentioned, also check your balljoints.
