200-300 miles after prg install I'm getting weird noises at random speeds from the front (driver's side).
Noise: clanking/chirping noise, depends on the speed faster or slower; does not depend on terrain.
Checked so far: PRG UCAs, coilovers

What do you guys think?

Bearing?
Hubs?
Brakes?

BTW it is 05 4x4 cc le 4.0L

Thanks

I don't know if this is your problem, but check your sway bar. My sway bar tends to squeak alot if I don't keep the bushings lubricated, and I'm too lazy to unbolt the brackets and use a proper grease to lubricate the bushings so I just use a spray lube (it gets rid of the squeak for a month)

I don't have a sway bar.

maybe jack up the front and take the load off your fancy new coilovers and shake them vigorously side-to-side to check for play in the bushings? If you've already done that I got nothing.....unless the new UCA's have defective ball joints? Of course I guess in those situations the noise would only happen when you hit bumps. are you getting the noise just driving straight, or does it happen when you turn?

Try jacking each side up, grab the wheel on the sides and move it back and forth, if if feels loose or has a lot of play then it could be tie rods, also do it top and bottom to check the bearings/ball joints.

Greg from PRG suggested that my brake pad could be loose due to missing spreader spring (not sure if thats the proper name for it).

possible???
