Ok, everyone on SVT Performance forums said my car looked like it was a 4X4, so I finally got around to LOWERING my car last week. As soon as I drove it out onto the street their was a noise coming from my rear axle area that sounds like metal against metal. So I took it to the local Ford boys to have it figured out. The Mechanic that checked it out said that the noise is coming from the differential, and it was by all counts from lowering the car, thereby causing the "PINION ANGLE BEING CHANGED DUE TO LOWERING SPRINGS".
What my question is; have the rest of you people heard of this? Did this happen when you lowered your cars? I only dropped it 1" both ends. Is this normal, should I be concerned? Do I need to do something to the Dif. to change it to the correct angle.
I know, the sound it's making isn't like Horatio blowing his horn, but I am used to only hearing the motor, and exhaust so forgive me for being paranoid. :whine:
