I installed:
BMR subframe connecters (weld in)
BMR panhard rod (poly bushings)
EVERY time I go over a bump in the road and the making a turn where the pressure is on the back left of my car I get this friggin clunking sound. I don't know what the hell it is but it has me PISSED the hell off. I made sure the panhard rod was as tight as I could make it, I even used gobs of blue lock tite just to make sure it was tight a step further but it STILL makes the sound.
There has to be a common fix for this.......... one of you guys MUST be able to help me out here, it has been going on for so long and I can't fix the damn thing ARGH! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

HAve you checked to see if your control arms are torqued down? Mine weren't.
This seems to be a common problem, the factory nuts/bolts seem to loosten up with time (a very short time in my case...)
Try it

Yup, the control arms & the upper shock mounts.

Is the PHB adjustable ? And if it is, is the locknut tightened down ? Mine has worked itself loose a few times since I installed it and it does clunk pretty loud when it's loose .
