Ball joints can click if they are torqued incorrectly. No telling about the Terraflex ones since very few will be using them here!

Oh, any particular reason for that?

It's been doing it even with Factory Ball Joints.

I will re-check torque on them. I appreciate it

Explain Bob. I would like to hear the reason for you saying this.

Recent torque specs for ball joints (e.g. JL) have provided special instructions for added torque if the ball joint clicks.

So you have no experience or any knowledge of this actually being a thing, just what something says online?

Is it a repeatable noise, or just occasional?

If it does it when not moving go lay underneath and have someone turn the wheel for you.

Mama says: "If a bolt is loose and clicks, tighten it more. "



Somebody is making big bucks for this job description.

I have no personal experience. I am only repeating what I have seen posted by Eddie and others in this forum. This forum is "online".

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that posted here. Post up the quotes.
