I have a knocking sound from the driver side shock. I was told there is some sort of kit to stop it. Is this true? Its annoying as hell

jeepride

do a search on bar pin elimanators

Is it just when you go over bumps and stuff or just anytime when you are driving around . I have a strange sound from my left spring/shock area but only when I drive over something or hit a pot hole.
I did the search and the only one that came up was this thread.

stock shocks? lift shocks? check the bushings?

dweezer

there are rubber bushing isolating the shock where it mounts. if they are cracked or worn than the shock will make noise. I've never heard of this being a problem on jeeps tho. check your ball joints

It has a 4.5" lift. Only when i hit bumps. guy I got it from said there is a kit I can get for the shock... Im not sure what he is talking about

he's talking about the bar pin eliminators (BPE).

check your upper and lower shock bushings. your top nut may be loose also.

if you're using the hardware (washers) that came with your aftermarket shocks, they are smaller than stock ones. i like using stock ones.

also, skyjacker had a run of bad bushings for the last couple years. you may want to get new ones if you use these shocks.

It is a rough country lift. Thanks. I was gonna replace the shocks anyway so I will get my brother to check it out

the shocks may still be fine, it could be just the bushings/isolators that are pressed into the loops on the ends, or the threaded rod that goes up under the hood.

I had this issue and have to replace the eye bushings o the lower mounts of my front shocks. They cracked and such. You can get them at the parts house.

Funny you say that,, I had a 3"skyjjacker and the bushing didnt even last 4months.. Replaced it with Energy suspension bushing and havent had a problem since(1 year later)
