Do you have an aftermarket torque arm? Mine banged inside the tunnel for a while. What about aftermarket exhaust?

when back up no.

when the body twists, no clunking just a weird creaking/wobbling type of noise.

as far as i know the entire suspension is stock save for sub frame connectors and an slp strut tower brace. i do have exhaust but its a hard solid clunk, definitely part of the suspension hitting the frame.
