2020 ram 1500 big horn 5.7(non etorque)
I've had this truck for about a year and love it but this noise is driving me crazy.
I first noticed it when I got the truck last year. A mechanic buddy of mine when I asked him to look at it, he thought it was the sway bar links and bushing being a little dry he sprayed them with some kind of lube. And the noise disappeared without a trace for almost a year.
It came back I asked him again, he said that I should probably replace the bushings and links so I did. The noise stayed. Then I stumbled upon a couple of videos and few posts on this forum about this moan kit and I was very optimistic and excited to finally have a fix for this God awful noise, because my next thought was possibly some kind of bearing in the rear but it was only happening at low speeds and while turning in forward and reverse so I was very hesitant about that.
So I am out of the bumper to bumper warranty as I have about 50k on the truck so I ordered it and was planning on installing on my own.
Fast forward to yesterday I had my truck up on the lift at a friend's place to do a quick oil change and I just peaked at the rear and this kit has already been installed!!!!!! Must have been done by the previous owner. I did buy it certified pre-owned from a dealer near me.
I'm at my witts end with this noise. It's embarrassing and very annoying. And it happens to my truck all the time. Unlike others that have posted for me it doesn't matter if it's wet, dry, cold, warm, sat for a few days without moving, it will produce the noise eveytime guaranteed.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution? I would really appreciate any and all advice at this point.
Thanks
