Default bolt-on Subframe connectors NOISY ??

Just had some bolt-on BMR subframe connectors put on and every bump and turn they make some crazy noises. is this normal?

My SLP bolt in's don't make noise. Might want to make sure all bolts are properly tightened and that nothing is hitting them.

The last time I knew BMR didn't make a bolt-on SFC, I know one member tried to tell me they did but BMR has really never made a true bolt-on SFC. So the question is do you have BMR SFC or another brand?

I never heard of a BMR Bolt on either, if you have BMR weld ins just bolted on I think I found your problem

never heard of bmr boltons either. my slp bolt-ons dont make any noise either, so like rice eater said, you should probably just check all the bolts, make sure they are tight

If the noise started after the SFC install it could be the LCA bolts need to be torqued down some more.

the noise is coming from the front. i already have some "play" in the steering wheel, but the shop seems to think its the front struts. hopefully wont be costly
