I have the PRG extended travel package with swayaway coilovers. When I go over a speed bump a little faster than normal I get a clunk or bang from my coilovers or front end suspension. Its not when the suspension is compressed but when it extends back out. This also happens when I go over a small drop off and one of my wheels has a chance to extend down. It almost feels like the reverse of when you hit a hard bump and your suspension up front compresses and you hit the bumps stops. Anyone know if this is normal?

does both sides do it or just one side if so check your lower balljoints, and see if the tubed uca's are making contact with the springs of the coilover, also check if the uca's are hiting your frame when they fully drop down,

oh and check bolts and nuts

what you could do im not shure if it will work but put the front end on jackstands and get a jack put the jack under the control arm and jack it up till the the truck barely rocks to the side and then drop the jack all the way down and try and see or here where its comeing from....idk if you would want to do that just keep the tires on when you do this

Check the pressure in your coilovers I had the same crunk that I couldn't find on my frontier and I had low pressure due to defective air valves

Do u have the swayaways? And was your clunk when the suspension compressed or when it let out?

Radflo, it sounded like something was rattling around. Find out what your PSI should be and any motorcycle shop should be able to check it and fill it if needed with nitrogen.
