Question Noisy, rattling and clunky

Mods are in sig. Not sure if this is normal but this things is stiff and kinda noisy. Ive had the car for a while and I grease the heim joints weekly and the wolfe setup also. The wheels are balanced about every two months so thats not the issue. I figure im kinda stuck with road noise and such do to the type of setup it is im not expecting it to ride like a stock car. Just curious if anyone else has close to the same setup if they can give me some ways to cut down on vibration and noises coming from the rear...thanks much

Stock shocks? If so, there is your problem.
And what kind of noises? Like rearend noises or suspension noises, are you hitting bumps and hearing this?

No Sir just during normal driving on smooth roads if i make even the slightest turn it stops, im guessing cause of the spool it puts things in a bind. if i hit bumps at slow speed its a tad more noticable, kinda thought my heim joints might be going south but they are tight. The shocks do appear to be pretty darn old.
