Default UMI LCA install

I installed UMI's tubular LCA's yesterday without to much trouble. It was pretty straightforward. Took the car out for a run, nailed it and all my wheelhop was gone . The car feels a little more solid also. My one complaint is the car seems to rattle more than before. Is this because the LCA's don't flex as much and is causing the car to rattle somewhere else?

I installed UMI's poly and rod end LCAs and PHB this past Friday. I also noticed that they are a bit noisy. It's not bad by any means. I'm not getting any popping. Just a little rattling here and there. Mostly at lower speeds. I don't hear anything out of them at highway speeds. I double checked the torque on the bolts today and took them up to 90 ft/lbs. I guess the minor rattling noise is just the result when using rod ends. They're working great too!
