I installed the 1.5” teraflex leveling kit a few weeks ago and also put on some rubicon fox shocks.My wife was pulling away the other day and I heard a metallic click when she drove away. she had the wheel turned a little bit to the left when accelerating. I drove it a couple times with the windows down and also notice the same noise over bumps. Sounds like it could be both sides. We did not loosen the control arm bolts when installing the leveling kit(i looked at the instructions after) could it be the control arms binding or something else? Thanks!

I had a clicking noise also after installing my kit. Took it in and they retorqued the ball joints to spec and it took care of it....eventhough I never touched the ball joints. Told me its not an uncommon issue. Had them check everything while they were under there.

Re-Check everything your loosened/installed. Maybe you didn't properly torque everything.
