So,

whenever I go over any variations of flat roadway, at any speed, my donahoe setup rattles. I believe the sound is coming from up front.

This was a problem a year ago after a very wet 4 wheeling trip...
I took it in
They said the water broke down the lube/grease on my "shocks."
It was gone after I got it back.

Time has passed, it is back, and I was wondering if any of you members knew what/where the points on the lift are that I am supposed to keep lubed, as the sound is killing me.

Apologies if this is searchable... I gave it my best.

Grease type suggestions are appreciated as well. Thanks.

Also make sure the top mounting bolts are tight.

Yes.

Ill check that.

Thank you both.

I am thinking the rattling may not be specific to my lift? It's just that it did it previously, I brought it in, they said they only needed to grease it up, and it stopped. Which makes sense bc of how many times I've powerwashed the undercarriage since then.
