LCA problem I still cant get rid of clunking noise from the rear.. i changed out my shocks no help i checked and changed the lca bolts a hundred times. i installed tubular lca about 6 months ago nothing but problems.. could i have installed them wrong??? are you supposed to tighten the bolts when the car is on the ground??? i had the car on a lift when i tighten them but i jacked the rearend up to put a load on them... someone please help driving me mad 
what kind of lca's and what type of bushings did you get. my bmr poly/polys clunk when I give it gas and when it shifts. i have noticed that if I grease them every 100-200 miles that it goes away.
I think that some of the inner sleeves of the poly bushings are "English" sizes, however the LCA bolts are "metric", so there's a little slop in the fit. I think that there's also a little taper to the bolts, so that makes the fit even a little sloppier. This is probably the "clunk" you hear.

would buying stock bushings cure the problem or even fit.. ive been reading up on this and it seems people say poly is to hard ... i know a guy over at speedinc had his guys check it out they said it was solid but i still have that damn noise feels like my rearend is going to fall off.. i feel every little bump.. i know some guys on here have had the same problem whats the solution.. i also got brand new hardware bolt and lock nuts and changed shocks and i know its the lcas cause i didnt have this problem until i changed them any ideas thanks
The clunk is usually when the bolts aren't tight enough. Get under the car when the suspension is loaded, then loosen and retighten the bolts. Make sure they are really tight

Have you checked the rear torque arm bolts? I know you said it didn't show up until you installed the LCAs but they have a habit of coming loose. When it happened to me I was getting a terrible clunking from the rear.
