Question Shock knock?

Straight to my issue. When I turn I notice a knock from my front end. It started doing this earlier today while on the trail. I stopped and check for loose bolts vissually but the first thing i noticed was the bushing on my shock was fried. I installed a 2" budget lift on top of my existing 3" lift. The shocks are the for the 3" lift but have enough travel to acomidate the now 5" (i removed and extended shock and flexed and i was good.) I haven't had time to check around under the ol' girl but i was wondering if the shocks sounds like it could be the problem. Otherwise any other parts i should B line for in checking?

Thanks on advance

Before I swapped my shocks out for RE Monotubes the rear drivers side would do the same thing. The bushing was bad causing it to clunk on the bar pin. So when I installed my new shocks I used some BPE to eliminate this in the future.

You should be able to get a new bushing for the shock. What brand is it?

No problem. I would just give them a call and see if they can send you a bushing. It couldn't be more then five dollars and they may even 'warranty' it for you.
