Default Poly/rod PHB, LCAs = bang! bang! bang!

since I replaced by PHB and rear LCAs with poly/rod units, the car corners much better with no wheel hop during exceleration.

Yesterday, I traveled some back roads for the first time at low speed and, unfortunately, there is a bunch of bangging in the back. WOW, it sounds like a dozen sockets rattling around in a steel tool box in the trunk.

When the car is going above 30mph, however, there is little banging. Weird???

Is there any way to quiet down this noise?

Make sure the jam-nuts are completely tight on the rod-ends. Double check the tightness of the bolts that locate the components. And finally mount the items so the rod-ends are isolated from the body side of the car. Rod-ends to the axle side, not the body side.
