OME shock question

I think my dust covers (one side actually) are rattling... solutions or thoughts?

Dust covers are tight, what might make a light wobble \rattle sound on bumps? Not the squeak from the sway bar...

Did you find the rattle?

Well, not sure. Dust covers rattle when the struts are out but as soon as there is pressure they are fine. Lubed every moving part I could, torqued everything going back on. Didnt hear it anymore and now, over the new tires... Ill never here it again lol /

Thanks for your PM earlier in the weekend. PICS...

Your top strut mounts aren't on all of the way. I had the same thing when I did my OMEs a couple months ago. I had to remove them from the jeep again and tighten that top nut. When you put them on it feels like you got it tight enough. Then the weight of the jeep actually seats it better and the dust cover ends up rattling. If I were a betting man I'd say that's your problem

Went last year stock! Good times. Most scary terrain is optional... but mostly doable.
