Well, just got back in from detailing the truck. So far I have the hood, front end, drivers side and tailgate done. Going to finish up tomorrow, that PC 7424 get's heavy after a while

Not trying to brag but what I got done came out really good. You can really see a difference from the passenger side and drivers side. I didn't think it was that bad.

They seemed tight but I'm going to get the wheels off and root around more this weekend. Never had a vehicle do me like this so I've got all sorts of ideas floating around. I am mechanically inclined so I'm thinking of each little part and what it's function is, and how it can possibly make a noise. That said I'm going to have a good look at the calipers first, lube the sliders and recheck all bolts in there, again. Good thing is all the parts I've replaced that wasn't the culprit needed replacing anyway. I'm also going to yank on the wheels a lot, maybe the bearings are going out without humming... :o

Not trying to be nosey but how much did you pay for you're sway bar links? Everywhere I looked online they were around $25.00 a piece for Moogs. I went to Advance and got the Moogs for $12.00 a piece.

Some more Ideas. - Before removing the wheels check for loose by grabbing the top and bottom. Then grab the wheel 9:00/3:00, steering by hand. You should be able to. If it's a bearing, try lifting the wheel as well.

Check the links on both sides as well, since they can bend, rust and break inside the sleeves.

I've already replaced the sway bar end links. I've looked at plenty of wheel bearing videos too. Pretty versed on checking them I think. The steering rack is free, easily moved by the wheels.

That's right , I see that now. Yea, it's hard to notice if those anchor plate bolts are loose. That's what I'm still going with. Shouldn't be the sliders, unless they're completely dry.

I'll be on it Saturday or Sunday, depending what day I work this weekend. I want this noise gone so I can focus on listening to my exhaust again.
