Howdy guys,
Please dont move this to suspension, nobody looks there.
So i rebuilt the front end of my 65 Ranchero 200 and it knocks whenever i go over a speed bump. I did have an issue where Les Schwab didnt tighten the upper contol arms to shock tower bolts very tight and they ended up coming loose. This was when i had them do the alignment and camber adjustment. I tightened them to 120 ft-lbs. I still have the knock but its not as bad. I definitely feel it in my left foot when i have the clutch pedal in going over a bump.
I just had it taken back to les schwab to have everything checked out again after i almost flipped out at them, and nothing is wrong due to the loose nuts for the upper control arms. And everything else is tight, i was down with the guy in the pit.
I replaced the ball joints, coil saddles, coil rubber, center link bush, new tie rods, strut rod bush, sway bar bush, upper control arm kit, shocks, the whole enchilada. I did not buy new A arms since they looked fine.
Any ideas what this could be?
Thanks,
Ryan
