While trying to figure out my water leak problem, I looked at a neighbors truck to compare a few things. After I fixed mine he asked if my truck made rattling noises in the front end. It doesn't but, road with him and he had a knocking sound when turning into his drive way and when running over a series of bumps. I asked him about the service he had done to the truck. He has one of them oil change places do his. From the looks of the grease fittings on the truck, I doubt they greased it last time which was in late april. So I greased it for him and the rattling noises are less now. It has about 17000 miles on it. Mostly highway miles.
He said the rattling noise has been bothering him for about 6 months.
I am just wondering how much damage was done to the ball joints.
What ya'll think ?
How are you suppose to check the ball joints on it ?
Thanks for any info.
