The noise is definitely coming from the rear. All my parts are brand new, the car had 600 miles on it. I got the nut tight again (it was just one nut that had backed off, but obviously I didn't get enough Locktite and torque on it).
I have a lift. I have loaded the suspension manually with a long board, prybars, etc., wiggled everything and double-checked everything.
I was afraid I would get these kind of comments. Like I said, I'm used to metal Heim joints and their noise but not when everything's brand new.
Was kinda hoping that someone would say that the stock coochie frammitz bracket cracked on all cars that are tracked with stiff suspensions.
BTW, I'm now very pleased with the handling of the car. I'm running 3.5° camber in the front and 2.5° in the rear and no toe front or rear.
With the stiffer sway bars and more emphasis on the ratio being higher in the rear, I like the feel of the oversteer I can now get.
I've got a journal with lots of info.
