LCA question
is there such a thing as an adjustable lower rear control arm that has rubber bushings? with my lowers on the car you feel every bump and can hear them clunk little. tightened them up as much as possible but still rides like sh**. same with my adjustable TA, noisy and carry's a bad vibration.

The clunking you are hearing from the rod ends can be rectified by using a high quality rod end.
The vibration from the Torque arm is probably due to an improper pinion angle adjustment. Whenever I change ride height, I re-adjust the pinion angle or else I get a bad vibration. I always shoot for -2 degrees.

I had rod end lca's and switched to poly end. The streets in Milwaukee are horrible, damn near need a kidney belt. The pot holes you can spot aren't the prob, it's the ones that come out of nowhere when you are following a bunch of cars or in traffic. I forgot just how nice the ride can be with the poly end lca's and no baby buggy squeaking.
