Drag Link Rattle

[createdbeats]

I have a rattle or clanking when I drive. Basically when I hit bumps or uneven spots I get a little bit of a rattle/ metal clanking noise. I ensured all my bolts were torqued but when I wiggle the drag link, I can hear the clank at he passenger side joint. I want to just order an after market one anyways but should the drag link do this?

My suspension is silent. You shouldn’t hear rattles.

As an update I have been having a hard time believeing it was my drag link so I tore into the front end the other day and noticed the lower spring isolators had bent plastic. Im sure I messed it up installing my first lift. After the replacement came in today I took it apart and sure enough I found a spot where the spring appeared to have been contacting the metal. I replaced the isolator and took it for a drive and the sound was gone. Work a look at yours to see if your in the same boat. I can take a picture tomorrow since my drivers side is still messed up. The drivers side iso is on back order apparently.

Update - I went ahead and replaced my drag link with a Street Smarts Yeti XD. Fixed my drag link problem. I was getting the majority of the rattle from the front shocks. I did not have them tightened to spec at the top bolts. The vehicle is quiet as can be now. Re torqued everything and the truck rides great. Can finally really get out there and go.
@Gren71, good to hear you got yours good to go as well.
