Is this normal?

[luvgun74]

Ok after installing my LCA's a few weeks ago i've noticed what seems to me as the rear being a little "clunky" feeling when going from reverse to 1st and taking off from redlights. Is this due to the LCA's or maybe even loose driveshaft bolts? Anyone else have this after installing LCA's? If so, any remedy to this?

I got the same noise too.

Which brand or what ends are you guys using?

Yea, mine has a similar noise with upper/lowers and panhard. I think it is just the nature of the beast with aftermarket bushings, they transmit more noise. I actually read on TS that the noise is most likely the 2 piece driveshaft.

i have the metcos, i also thought maybe cause i didnt tighten them to the specs instead i used the german method of "goodentight". Don't get me wrong the LCA's alone got rid of ALL the wheel hop that i once had but now there's the awful "clunk in the trunk" sound. :shrug:

Mine make a bit of noise as well, mainly on deceleration. But it is definitely worth a bit of noise for the vast improvement.

I have the kit from Evo and mine does it. I'm not too worried.

It's normal.
The more I grease the fittings the better it gets.

You have to properly torque everything with the suspension loaded. I think alot of the noise comes from the bolts being too narrow for the LCA's, especially with rod ends.
