Rough Country Issues/Noises

jeffsig · August 22, 2015

Bought a new '15 Silverado in May and had a mechanic shop install a 2" RC level. I moved to Dallas from New Orleans without any issues. I pulled into my driveway today and noticed a clunk sound on the passenger front side. I took it into the dealer and the tech drove it, confirmed the sound. He found the sway bar to be very loose so they tightened and checked all the bolts they would have touched to install. The sound never went away, but he mentioned the shock could be causing the noise.

They were about to order new shocks under warranty until they saw it was Ranchos on the front and said they only come on the rear on Z71s. I advised I didn't add them it came front my previous dealer that way. Is this true? I emailed my old dealer and waiting on response.

Any ideas on what the noise could be? I shook the front of the truck and I don't hear any noise. It's only when I hit bumps/go up my driveway.

Very well could just be a loose shock or strut. I had a loose rear shock and it made an awful clunk sound every tin I hit a bump. Just a few turns with a ratchet solved the problem.

They checked and all bolts are tight. They did tighten up the sway bar but the noise is still there.

My z71 came with Ranchos on the front and back, they all do. Your dealer doesn't know what they are talking about.
