A while ago I got a jingle or tink every time I would go over a bump, pot hole or delineator. Today I finally found what I thought was the cause of it was, a small stud with a nut and big washer on it sitting on my frame. I couldn't figure for the life of me what it went to so I went through and found out it was the top stud for the strut. I don't mean the three bolts that sit inside the fender but the actual bolt that runs through the whole strut. I know I need to replace the strut and I'm not looking for help on how to do that but instead looking for what might be the cause of it and what i could do to prevent it from happening again if there was a specific cause. The only mods I have are 2½" spacers in the front only, 256/75 tires and a slightly ground down upper ball joint to fit my tires, at best a quarter of an inch knocked off.
