Ok guys since I put the solid in the car just rattles and creeks like crazy. it only makes the noises though when I'm leaving a light or just getting the started once its moving at speed its quite like it should be. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue or ideas on what it could be?

i have a few ideas

first check the spring isolators, make sure they aren;t rotted, worn. i recommend polly as i have never had them ever make noise.

second i would suspect control arm bushings. Also check control arm bolt sizes. the upper control arms take 12 MM bolts, but the lowers take 14MM. make sure you have the right sizes in both.

check shock mounts. make sure the rubber on the shock (top and bottom) is in good shape.

check the sway bar and make sure it is securely bolted to the lower control arms. also if you are running a t/a diff cover, check the sway bar for clearance against the diff cover.

lastly check the exhaust. make sure the engine vibration isn;t causing it to hit anything
