i dont have any pictures but it sounds like someone is taking a hammer and wacking the body... sounds like its coming from where it mounts on the differential...

I had that start up last year with mine. Turned out that the top of the bracket was bumping the tunnel just in front of the differential. You should be able to see some wear marks once you get it up in the air. Once you find the spot 'massage' the area with a BFH.
I've had a spohn torque arm for 5 years and in the beginning I had to slightly massage the drivers side of the rear tunnel. Several of my friends run the same torque arm and everyone has massaged the tunnel. On another note, my friend ended up cutting the upper and lower torque arm pad and moving the torque arm over to the next set of holes on the rearend. I think that's a lot of work and it ruins the torque arm so just massage the tunnel.

Verdad Gallardo I wanted to tell you that mine got worse as I lowered my car. In the end, I centered the rearend perfectly and then massaged whatever needed to be massaged. Now it's fine!
I have an 01 Camaro and it hit at stock ride height but that was with a 12-Bolt. It's no big deal if it does hit because you can get a hammer and move whatever it's hitting.
