4th Gens's: List your suspension mods

[nascarnate326]

put my LCA relocation brackets on and now the car is making noise from the rear. Really hard to describe the noise.

Is it possible to install these wrong? Could it be my aged LCA's making the noise?

did you torque the bolts at curb height?

X2 my first thought as well they will bind if you didn't

Looks like you hit the nail on the head.

So I need to jack the suspension up and then torque everything down?

Good rule of thumb, which I believe applies in basically every instance, is if you're doing anything with the suspension you want the suspension fully loaded when you're torquing bolts down.

no you need to set the car back down at ride height on all 4 wheels and torque all the bolts.

Drive on hoist or 4 drive on ramps will help with that

Ok I have A&J racing K-member
Bilstiens all the way around with eibach springs
UMI frame ties
UMI torque arm
UMi relocation brackets
Global west rear control arms
BMR pan hard rod
The only things stock under there are the front A arms and transmission case and the brakes. But hell who needs brakes am I right.

May this point that's not possible, car sits too low. I'll jack it up and see if that makes a difference.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

then you need to use ramps like Mike said this is the proper way otherwise you will get the noise you described, jacking it up may work it may not.

Jacking it up wont work.

Drive it up on a few 2x6's or something. Get creative..

I jacked mine up and set it on 4 ramps... I can't drive onto ramps, too low
