Ford HP D44 swap Clunking noise
Ok guys,
98 XJ swapped with a HP D44 with ford radius arms (bent for clearance already) Johnny jointed as well.
Issue:
Any bump i hit big or small i get a loud knocking from the passenger front. It sounds and feels pretty bad. I have done some diagnostics but have come up empty. (i changed the wheel bearings and installed the stage 8 wheel bearing locks) Still getting the knock. I do have some play in my hiem joints in the steering but im guessing thats not the root of the problem. I have never heard of johnny joints breaking and mine looks in good shape so i scratched that off the list..
Maybe the C clamp bushings on the axle for the radius arms?
has anyone else running this axle swap ran into this?? any Bronco people out there?
any help would be awesome!!
Thanks!
