Finally pedderized. Now an interesting problem
Took me twice as long as it should have, but I'm finally done with the xa coilovers, zl1 conversion sway bars, and a few bushings. I would take some pictures but.... I'm stuck in my garage. There is a hump to get down to the parking lot. I thought I would have clearance with the header clamps but I don't. It's not a super aggressive drop. 660mm. Time to pick up some 4x6's and build a ramp. I may get some pics up by tomorrow afternoon.

Alright. I got it out the garage to take for a test drive and some pictures. Couldn't really hammer it because I notices some clunking from the rear end and lower speeds over small bumps. Higher speeds and larger jolts I couldn't hear it. I rechecked all bolts that attach to the lower control arm 2 times. I'm not really sure what could be making the noise. I suspected the drop links, but they are on there pretty tight. No play at all. I may need to head over to ADM and get my gears and sub frame bushing put on earlier than expected while they look at my mess that I did.
It looks great however. I have it set to 660MM. I didn't want to go too low. |

If you'll be at the FEST we can trouble shoot the noise at Bruce Raymond's.

Ok.
1. Double check all the bolts in the rear. 2. With the tighter suspension, exhaust noise can occur that wasn't present with the softer OE setup. Look for any possible points of conact and adjust as necessary. 3. Pull the rear struts and verify the assembly stack is in order. |

Did you remember to clock the bushings? I noticed the same type of clunking sounds in the way to the alignment shop. Completely cleared up after clocking.

I haven't got it aligned yet. I may do that, but I would hate for that not be it and have to disassemble just to have to realign.

You should still "time" your bushings. If you've done some the trailing arms along with your LCA then you've already done some of this but you will probably need to go in and do the front. BTW: I use a guy up in Denton that does a pretty good job and he's cheap as well. Normally only $70 for an alignment. Last time I had him install my camber bolts as well and he only charged me another $20 ($90 out the door) and him almost got it perfect to the Pedders Aggressive Street specs. PM me if you want his info.
