Question 10 Bolt + BMR Rear Suspension = Noise

Anbody else expirience a noisy 10 bolt rear end with tubular BMR control arms, weld on brackets, adjustable ph rod, sf connectors? They have poly bushings, but just curious if it is normal for all that damn road noise.

You may have to tighten everything down a little tigther,that's what I read on BMR's website if you get some noise,but my car does have a little more noise thou.

when you go to harder bushings or rod ends the noise, vibration and harshness increases. try retightening them and maybe re lube em

LoL, it's kind of hard to explain, but you can really hear the road a lot more. Everything as torqued down to the specs, but I guess it just comes natural converting over to rods, etc.

Wait until you go with all rod end front suspension. I'm used to it and the benifits definitly out weigh the noise(for me). You will probably notice it more when you brake. This is normal, but like stated above check to see if everything is still tight. After I install any new suspension/chasis parts I like to go back after a few hundred miles and torqe everything back down.
