I've had it installed for two days with the factory setting (the springs and struts aren't on yet), and this is the aftermath after hearing a popping noise this morning on the way to work. Could it have been a faulty unit, because it was installed as directed...

 

wow.. what brand is this? this makes me want to go check mine. I have a non adj upper che and adjustable bmr lowers. I have a lot more road noise with this setup so can you describe the pop you heard?
I can't help with weather it was defective or not, but I would think the manufacturer should. common sense tells me that shouldn't happen.

 

It's a CHE Double Adjustable UCA. The sound actually sounded like something metal in my rear had just fallen and hit the concrete. I doubled around to see if anything had fallen and there was nothing. Then when looking tonight, I saw that.[:@]

 

Did you install it with the "pinion snubber" in this orientation?

 

I hope whoever installed that is a certified mechanic, if you want a refund at least.

 

Yeah, the snubber was where it was supposed to be. I have no idea what the hell happened...

 

I installed that exact same CHE UCA, the onlypossible wayto install that UCA is with that rubber thing facing down, it doesnt even touch something, its just in the air ... did u installed the UCA with that rubber facing up or down ?

 

Facing down.

 

Man I got a BMR adjustable upper and Lakewood adjustable lowers. I just had the upper done a little while back. I think it needs a little more adjustment. Was planning on waitting a couple weeks and having it done when they did my blower. Not so sure I'm gonna wait now!

 

So really it was just the snubber that went south?
