Stance LCA. WhiteLine links and arms noise
 
So I got BC coilovers and they were great! I then proceeded as for Stance LCA and WhiteLine end links and toe arms and after I installed them I made sure to torque everything to spec and double check how everything looks. But now I get this wear clunking clicking noise something like popcorn popping in a microwave and I can't seem to find where it's coming from. It's definitely the back. Does anyone know or have any ideas what it could be? It only happens at low speeds so I'm assuming something is hitting something elae

How much are you dropped? Too low and it could be your axles.

A little under two inches. I think I know where it's coming. Either from the adjustable part of the LCA.

Probably your rear end links.

I've read somewhere that spherical end links that are a little heavier duty will squeak after a while. You can try re-greasing them but I heard it only helps for so long.

It's your coilovers. BCs garbage is notorious for that crap.

Check the rear top hats and spring preload on the coilovers; I'm 99.999999% sure that's what it is.

Axles click when they go bad.

Popcorn noises are usually a symptom of a loose top bolt on the strut, most likely on the pillowball. Check your top hats.

The three nuts that connect the coilovers to your car right? Cause those are really tight

Are you talking about the one in the middle under the damping adjuster?

i cant remember exactly but i think it was something like 41 lb.-ft.

when you tighten it though, you have to make sure the shaft isnt spinning with the it.
