Odd clunk sound...

[tyler.lee132]

Just replaced lower ball joints and upper control arm/balljoints in my 2000 ranger 4x4. Now when i brake hard there is a lloud clunk/thunk noise on the passenger side. Also, the passenger side had a control arm that you would find on a lifted truck... Replaced it with a regular one. Any ideas as to what the noise could be?

It's probably the lower control arm not being torqued correctly. Was it on the ground when you did the final torque?

Also, Make sure the sway bar has been properly torqued down too.
