Torque Arm clunks on side to side movement Whenever i take a turn or just slalom the car it goes clunk clunk each time, its the rear of the torque arm like the bolts arent exactly the same diameter inside the slots and its allowing some flex. Anyone else have this problem? I got under the car a few weeks ago and found one was loose and thought oh thats what the problem was, so i tightened them both up as hard as i could and it still does it.
Are you sure it's the TA? Because it should have no side
load put to it and has no real way to push itself left/right
against the clamping force.
The Panhard, now, will clunk on you if you let the mounts
get loose (I even had mine commence to clunk, after lube
once; grease pressure spread the tabs and I had to add
heavy washers and dog it back down tight).
You could sleeve the bolt to get a tighter fit in the holes.
But tightening it and nothing changed kind of says to me,
you haven't found everything that needs tightened yet.

It started as soon as I put on my torque arm and lca's, i checked the lca's and they are tight as well as my phb and swaybar.
the rear only would have to move side to side a fraction of an inch to cause the torque arm on the rear to shift and clunk dont you think?
