Default Klunking noises

..installed a moser 9", sphon tq arm, panhard bar, and LCA's (all poly mounts) with relocation brackets about 2000km's ago.. but it seems that I've now developed klunking noises somewhere in the rear or tq arm. I have checked all the bolt-ups and everything is tight...I'm lost now.

Anyone else have this happen?

When I got a UMI T/A on my 12 bolt I had the same thing. My issue was that the T/A, where it mounts to the rear end housing, was hitting my floor pan. There was a clearance issue since the rear was bigger and whatnot. I would look underneath the car and see if that isn't the same issue you are having, just a thought.

I checked to see if I was hitting the floor pan, but thats not the case, I get the nosie when I get off and back on th gas...and when I am turning left or right at low speeds or starting to roll out.

Track bar and/or control arm bushings still good? That is where I would start.

I'd go back under there and double check where the torque arm bracket or torque arm may be contacting the floors sheetmetal. Bob

pry bar and bfh has silenced mine, had to bang out the area on the floorpan just forward of the rear end and above the adjustment spots on the tq arm. after banging on it a bit and reinstalling the TA a lil more room was needed so the pry bar did the trick
