DSL Issues
Okay when I installed my driveshaft during my torque arm install I noticed when the suspension was unloaded it hit the bottom of the dsl. Now when driving on the road and I go over a hill or theres a decent size bump on the highway I'll hear *clank clank clank clank clank* really fast. It's from where my driveshaft comes down and hits the dsl. Also I noticed theres 2 different sets of holes to mount the front of the torque arm. Well I can't use one of the sets because the end of the bolt comes out so far it hits the attached weight on the driveshaft. Is this normal? I'm afraid I'm gonna have the driveshaft break one of these times

Yeah that's what's hitting on mine except it's hitting on the bottom. A friend who put on my sfc and relocation brackets had some pieces that he fabbed up and we put it between the crossmember and the body so it lowered my crossmember 3/16" so hopefully that helps a lil. I'm open to suggestions though. If it still does it I might just hack off the dsl

Yeah I might look into that too because w/ UMI's design they have 3 holes on the two plates that connect the torque arm to the crossmember (for easy angle change?). Anyways I can only use one of the two sets as the bolt sticks out and hits my driveshaft. I'm gonna give them a call tomorrow

Looking at their pics online you should be able to put the bolts in from the right side of those two "braces" and have the nut facing the driver side of the car. From their pics it doesn't look like the bolt would touch the DS that way.
See how the top bolt was pushed in from the passenger side to the driver side instead of vice versa like the lower bolt.
