So about three months ago I replaced my upper control arms because the the bushings on the old ones were making a horrendous noise every time I hit any little bump. I replaced them with new ones and new shocks and the sound went away, now three months later im getting the same sound back but not as loud and it seems like it mainly happens on the passenger side. Any ideas on what could be going on? It is highly irritating.
 
Seen the upper bolts not tight enough causing this. You think it is play in the bushing when really it is arm moving on the bolts.

I thought I had torqued them down pretty good but ill go back out and retighten the bolts. Not saying your wrong but could it be anything else? Just for ideas.

It was exactly what you said it was!!! You sir are my savior, that noise was driving me crazy. Now that i think about it i forgot to retighten everything once i lowered the truck off the jack and the bolts definitely were not as tight as they should have been. Thanks for the help!
 
No problem
