Hey thanks for the reply, Ya I checked it today after work. I had someone rock the truck while I was underneath to try and locate the sound. it was actually coming from the crossmember for where the torsion bars connect near the middle of the vehicle. I figure I just need to tighten the bolts up...

thanks for the response. Ya I will take a look when I get off work today.

hey 96procomp how much you pay for all of that, and installation and everything

it is a 97 Tahoe 4x4 5.7L

I am hearing a clunking from my front drivers side tire. It happened a couple months ago after I hit a couple ruts really hard. At first it was really only when I hit bumps in the road did I hear the sound. But now it seems it does it for really small or somewhat insignificant bumps. My CV boots...

sorry i havent replied in like a week, i was in the field. I havent been able to check up on that. Ya i will take a look at that stuff, thanks for the replies. I havent really crawled under the truck yet due to there being like 3 feet of snow on the ground.

alignments fine. everthing looks good. f@$% it i will replace the bump stop and let you know what happens. Does anyone know of a site with the stock ones. everybodys got either bigger ones for lifted trucks, or smaller ones for lowered trucks.

i checked that, looks fine, no crack or obvious bends. The only thing i can find that looks messed up is that bump stop. Im going to check my alignment later that should give me an indicator of whats wrong. Though when I drive she goes straight, and pretty smooth, other than the clunking sound...

you think thats the problem then? i will check tomorrow when theres light. im still hoping its the 20 dollar bump stop deal.

there are a cuple of my front susp i couldnt find anything wrong cept the bump stop. i even compared it to a guys tahoe in the parking lot at work lol. theres slush on the ground so i was hesitant to get on my back to check.

no it was never lowered. its at stock height, and on level ground looks level no front sagging or anything. hmmmm, ya i will get pics up.

i took a quick look at it this morning, and seem the bump stops even on the other non affected side seem really close to the control arm, like an inch or 2 away. is that normal? There isnt any load on it.

if you can get a pic of the underneath of your truck thatd be awesome, im going to take a few pics tomorrow and see if i can upload them.

where is the stabilizer bar? like i said im new. and what should i look for? just broken pieces? im goin to look it up see if i can find some pics on internet

also those bump stops say they are smaller than stock for dropped trucks. i tend to go through the rough stuff so maybe i should look for bigger ones. At least stock size i think. Im used to the ford coils, and leaf so this is new to me.

YES!!! That is exactly what i was looking for. Now do you think something else is wrong with my suspension if it bottoms out like that? I hit the ruts pretty hard so the initial smash is expected. But to be "bottoming out every time i hit a bump isnt. So maybe it has something to do with torsion...

The other day i took my 97 tahoe into some mud, and hit a couple ruts pretty hard. When I started driving down the road, it started making a clunking sound every time I hit a bump. So I checked the front suspension, and I found what was wrong. Its like a orange bumper thats right near my shock...

they will fit fine.

and if not fixed the drive shaft will wobble all the components inside the tranfer case and/or transmission and will do SERIOUS damage. get it check out just in case. Getting it balance is like 100 bucks, thats a lot cheaper than getting a tranny rebuild.
