Rearend noise after Lowering..help!
Just had the Steeda Springs installed, the car looks great but when i go over any kind of bump especially a speed bump there is a fairly loud heavy clunk sound coming from the rear of the car. I also have the Steeda LCA's installed. Anyone have any ideas what might be going on???....Thanks

RE: Rearend noise after Lowering..help!
Could be the panhard bar brace hitting the exhaust pipe on the passenger side, especially if it is an aftermarket pipe (the factory ones have a flattened out area for extra clearance), or your bolts on the LCA's may not be tight enough. If they are not real tight the LCA will shift and make a clunk. Did you use street lca's or the race version with spherical ends? The race versions are especially noisy if the bolts are not torqued really tight. My best guess is the exhaust though.

Its more of heavy clunk sound best i could descibe it and very pronouced going over a speed bump. I am going to have them recheck those Steeda LCA's they are the street version. It doesnt sound like the exhaust hitting. Also i am waiting on a adj panhard bar to come in as well a upper control link ( i think that what its called?) Thanks for responding...
