Default Rear clunking after install!?

Installed stranos, Konis, Founders Adj. PHB, and LCA , with relo brackets. I'm getting a high amount of noise coming from the rear end. Even when going slow over stuff its a heck of a racket.

Just wondering if anyone has had this issue, and what it might be.

PS. the car has not been aligned and I have not centered the rear with the PHB yet.

Did you properly set your pinion angle? Also, get that PHB adjusted before you do this.

No I didn't. I thought an Adjustable torque arm was for the pinion angle?

Have you lowered the car?

Odds are since you have lowered your car and you have aftermarket LCA's on there now your drive train geometry is off and your rear end is contacting the bottom of the car on launches. I would recc, putting an adjustable TQ arm in there as you can properly set your pinion now that you have lowered teh car and trown it off. Contact Sam he can help you and make some better recc's.

do your lower control arms have heim joints on the ends? if so that's probably where your sound is coming from
