suspension question!

hey i have noticed now that my right front seems so much more harsh sounding when dropping off rock, curb or whatever than my left front. the torsions on the right are softer than ones on right. torsions seem to be fine and tight. wonderin maybe it could be the ball joint?? it just dont sound right.

also one more question i am wondering i have bj spacers on my truck do i need a 1" diff drop?? just wondering bout that one. thanks

no you dont need a 1'' diff drop. could be ball joints and you may just need grease things up a bit. but my vote is on ball joints those things can be kinda noisy when they get old and worn out

yeah the little rubber caps fall off the steering stops and they screech and groan when on full lock and going up or down a bump. Take some grease and put a dab on contact areas. There are 4. That stopped mine.
