Don't those links have an 8mm hex so you can hold them while turning the nut?

they do. But when completely shot, that doesn’t work either.

Okay so I’m getting annoyed. Noise was gone last night. On my way to work I drove on a notoriously rough road, the noise came back.

I just finished double checking every bolt/nut that I touched for the level. I used my breaker bar. It’s still clunking up front.

is there ANY chance my alignment tomorrow will fix the issue? I feel like no, because everything is tight.

Don't see how. Unless they happen to find what the problem is and fix it.

What exactly will they touch during an alignment? Steering tie rod? LCA? UCA?

the LCA seems to have a slot that’s adjustable, would they slide that bolt around?

I believe LCAs (camber) and tie rods (toe) would be where adjustments could happen on these trucks.
