Default Aftermarket suspension noisy

On my car i have poly poly LCAs, UMI adjustable panhard rod, Bolt on LCA relocation brackets, Strano sway bars front and back, koni 4.4 adjustable shocks, strano lowering springs and a UMI adjustable torque arm. My rear suspension makes all kinds of clunks and crap when going over small bumps in the road and sounds like the rear end is going to fall off when going over a good size bump. It's not hitting the bumpstop because I know what that sounds like and it's not this. I've gotten under there and nothing is loose and I'm pretty sure everything is greased up as it should be. Is this just normal with having this stuff? If not what else should I check for?

Are your rear shocks set on a high level?

poly/poly lca's sound like crap IMHO, I ran them for 6 months back in 2001. I'm happier with 1LE LCA's, or LG LCA's.

You have everyhting setup for the twisties except the LCA's themselves. Poly/Poly is used by hardcore drag racers. Either switch to stock and pop in 1LE rubber bushings (available from Sam) or go to rod ends on the LCA's.

I get some poly noise out of mine I greased them again and it went away for a few trips and now its back. Im going to try it again maybe it will stay away longer this time. Its not bad tho...You might need to tighten somethin down more.

Shocks are set to a half turn from full soft.
