Just want some opinions from you guys. I have a tapping or slight knocking noise when I am driving slow and truck rocks side to side. I have changed intermediate shaft, and have put the shims in at body mounts. Body mounts did not look too good when we put shims in. Shims got rid of loud popping noise that I had. Just wondering if you think I need to change front body mount bushings or is there something else that could be making this noise. I have 2" keys up front and cut bumpstops if that makes any difference.

If your HOE has higher miles, get both front wheels off the ground and see of the Pitman arm and/or idler arm ball joints are worn out - With the wheels off the ground, I shook the wheel back/forth and heard the same tapping/knocking sound. Also, i would visibly see how loose the ball joints were - - May not be your problem, but can't hurt to check -
