Default Sounds like washers jingling!

So about a month ago I had the front end rebuilt, tie rods, tie rod ends, idler arms,pitman arms, ball joints and what not. I had a bad creaking and fixed that and the truck was nice and quiet for a few weeks, now I have notice what sounds likes (washers jingling or change jingling) under normal up and down driving. Just the simple bumps in the road do it, but not with huge dips. Any idea what it could be?

Just looked at the sway bar links and the bushings look and the links seem to be tight.

Try the shield behind the brake rotors, check for shiny spots or anything where they would be rubbing

I know exactly what you are talking about. My truck has been doing it for a long while and I still have no idea what it is. I would love to figure it out though.

I think it is coming from the paaenger side, BUT that is only cause it is load when it bounces off whatever is next to that side, but I have heard it on the drivers side to sometimes, I have crawled under and wiggle and hit alot of things trying to find this.

Almighty that is funny I had the little center cap of my wheel fall off in the hubcap of a civic when I was 16 and do the same thing....lol

Heartlandex I will check that out tomorrow in the daylight thanks
