Default Torque arm clunk

Just install a new set of LCA's and Viking rear Coilovers and now when I throttle hard the torque arm clunks. I put a go pro under the car the the axle wraps upward a bit and I hear a clunk. Going to look under car to see if TA is hitting anything but my real question is does the axle wrap up this much normally?

Car is 1/2" lower than it previously sat before the coilover install.


May have to select video to HD to have a clear view.

Went to check out your video and I logged in to my Microsoft account and after that it says "invitation already accepted" or something like that. I guess only one person can view it. If you can upload it to YouTube, that would be gobs better

It looked like the torque arm bracket was flexing to me if you watch the video which I am assuming it has a slide link instead of a pivot link. Make sure the bolts on it have not came loose.

It has a pivot link up front. I still can figure out why its making that noise you can hear it in the video.

After watching the video I feel it is in the torque arm. After all this have you checked to see if the torque arm is making contact with the floor?
