I installed sportlines on the car about a week after I bought it, and since then everytime I hit a large bump I hear a wonderful metallic sound from the rear of the car. I am wondering if my shocks/struts are worn out or maybe this is normal. Also, the rubber bushing they send with the springs, I saw no place for it; is it needed or did I miss something?

i think you are talking about the rearend snubber it goes on top of your rearend to keep it from bottoming out.could be driveshaft hitting your tunnel.
its the snubber. you need to put the eibach one on their, ot it will keep making that noise.

Out of curiosity(sp? :shrug: ), do you have one of the aftermarket differential covers. I have sportlines as well, and noticed the same only after I put on an aftermarked diff cover. It was hitting the spare tire wheel well!

Alright, I'll check my rearend for a place to install the snubber. I just hope that I haven't caused any damage. Also, what about the sway bar should I be concerend with?
the snubber is located ABOVE the rearend. The stocker is a black rubber piece on a metal bracket. You'll see it.
As far as the swaybar, their are saying you need to see if it is cracked. The rear sways are known to crack.
