new to the site, might add I love my 2006 F150 FX4 5.4. I recently chansed plugs, wasn't that bad after I bought the lisle tool, had to replace struts, then had the upper and lower ball joints replaced. I did the struts myself, but I think I did something wrong. getting a knocking noise on bumps. looks like the nnut on top of strut is moving up and down, but I can't it any tighter, any suggestions.

 

Welcome.

 

welcome to the site.

are you sure that you put everything back together properly?

 

I thought I was until I drove, will pulling struts again today to see what I did wrong.

 

pulled struts, compresssed springs, and retightened with impact gun. not wrench. This solved the problem
