Ive had this noise which sounds like a metal rod banging around hitting things but cannot find it. Its coming from the drivers side and seems to be from around the front tire area. I just had new tierod, balljoint, shocks installed to try to eliminate the noise but it didnt change a thing. It seemed to occur more often after i had lowered the driver side torsion bar to level out the front. I checked all the bolts i could see and everything is tight. If anyone has suggestions on what to lool for plz let me know. Here is a a link to a vid i took today

Sounds like a loose heat shield or a bolt that got dropped somewhere. It seems to be happening whenever you hit a bump.

I hope its not a loose bolt cuz ill probly never find it. Id think it would be a suspension component if it became alot more noticeable after messing with the torsion

I had a similar problem last winter. My exhaust pipe broke from the hanger weld on the top of the exhaust. I couldn't see it so i started banging on things with a rubber mallet. It started making the noise with bumps and then progressed with idle.

Good luck

So i did wat you said rfe, i started banging on things with a mallet. I started on the skid plate then onto the lca. Thats where i found the same noise from hitting bumps. So i kept hitting in and through 1 of the 2 small holes underneath the lca i saw something move and it seems to be a washer, possibly a nut at one point but i didnt see that one. I couldnt get it out cuz it was bigger than the hole. Im gonna try to get something with a magnet tip inside there some how and if that fails i might have to just trap it in with some spray foam

Trap it with foam, that made me chuckle. Let us know what else you figure out.

I was able to get it out by fishing it over to the big hole then drilling out a little chunk on the side of the opening to get it to fit through. Its about 1.5"
The noise is completely gone now

I checked diagrams but it doesnt show it on there. Any one know what it is?

It looks like part of the camber adjuster on the UCA.

X2, that's exactly what it is
