That said, I've been chasing this clunk for awhile and it’s finally fixed. What it ended up being was the front diff bushings were installed incorrectly with the fat bushing/half moon on the top of the diff which was affecting my pinion angle.

I re-installed the bushings correctly (as per FTBR reference pic) and the entire diff raised up substantially. After everything was buttoned up, I noticed right away that the amount of play in my driveshaft (turning by hand) had significantly decreased. All I can say is [B]WOW[/B], this small change made the biggest difference. The car is a joy to drive and I can now appreciate the FTBR kit. Please do yourself a favour and double check your front diff bushings. Lastly, I want to give everyone props for their input/support while I figured out this problem! [/QUOTE]
