New rear lca's but creaking and binding?
#12
. The problem here is I think I"m the ONLY member who believes polyurethane bushed rear control arms in Mustangs will break the boxes. Many will flatter themselves thinking their super drag racing launch broke it but the fact is the lack of ability to allow the suspension to articulate broke it.

sphericals are second to none. if you dont mind some noise thats where you wanna be i dont regret from rubber to spherical for a second. poly's will wreck your ****....go rubber or preferably in my case, spherical.

Update....I removed the rear springs & shocks. I then supported the rear diff and moved the axle up and down (articulated) to check for bind, popping, creeking..etc.
Found nothind other than my rear sway bar was rubbing on the LCA's. Torque boxes all looked good. No damage or broken welds anywhere. Spent a ggod amount of time looking things over, but all looks good.
I left the sway bar off and drove it for about 100 miles to see if that was causing the noise, since the bar was rubbing the LCA's but the noise remains.
As far as poly axle bushings being the culprit, I am guessing you are right. I may just have to install new factory ones instead the polys. All this noise is embarrassing and irritating.
