I recently crashed my 4X4 2001 Blazer and had to have a lot of work done to get it back to drivable. I replaced the lower control arms, left upper control arm, sway bar bushings, a new front clip and had the frame pulled back to straight.

Now, I have a kind of jiggle clank going on in the left front. It kinda sounds like if the shock was totally bad but the shocks are pretty new. I've had it apart a couple times and I can't find anything loose or broken. One of my concerns with the repair is when I had to assemble the tortion bars and tighten them again. If they are tightened to much or to loose what would happen? It seems like my front end sits a bit higher after all this work so could it be that the tortion bars are tightened to much?

I'm pulling at strings now and I don't have the $ to bring it anyplace for a professional opinion.

Thanks for reading and if you can help it would be greatly appreciated!!!!

 

do you have before and after pics?

 

Tightening raises the front end and lossening them lowers it. If you had the front end aligned height should be fine. If they are tightened too much 99.9% of the time they can't get it in spec without lowering it a bit.
