    Weird front end noise offroading

    I've been 4x4ing often lately and it seems that after a while I keep noticing this weird noise coming from my front when I flex my front suspension a little or a lot.

    Anyway to mount struts to axle on leaf under?

    which lower mounts are you talking about? The ones on the spring perch or something else? And how did they break? Did they break because you moved the springs or were they already broken? Anddd can you replace the bump stops with bigger ones... Andddddd lastly howd you reinforce them?

    Anyway to mount struts to axle on leaf under?

    any issues from moving shock mount locations? saw a thread where a guy removed his rear sway bar then put some pro comp shock brackets there and then mounted his shocks there which seems like a wonderful idea to me because i seem to get caught up a lot where my shock comnnects to my leaf...

    Anyway to mount struts to axle on leaf under?

    sooo if i disconnect my rear sway bar and use the pro comp shock studs and mount my shocks where my rear sway bar was, will i have adverse side effects? Will my suspension be all out of wack because my shocks arent attached to my leaf?

    Help me with my leaky explorer.

    i was just thinking. Could it be that my new drive axle is not properly locked in and sealed? It was the first time I had ever done it when I replaced it. But for the tcase sensor, do I need to replace to seal or can I just use the RTV to cover it for now?
