LCA's and relocation bracket problem???
 
I just install UMI non adj LCA's with the relocation brackets. I followed all the instructions, greasing, and all...but my rear end creeks? Any idea why it is doing this?

Did you have the weight on the tires when you torqued them to spec?

Yes you should...... the preload on the bushings from being torqued in the incorrect position could lead to creaks and premature bushing wear.

Also besure to use a fully synthetic bushing lubricant as petroleum based products do not work as well at preventing creaks. Petroleum based lubricants will also degrade the busjings faster causing premature bushing failure.

I just finished the reinstall and it worked pretty well. There is still a minor creek but i may need more grease. Thanks for the help
