Ok have a lowered car and have a set of 20x11 wheels, in the passenger rear I hear a clunking noise like it hits the parking cable I won't be able to locate it until my wife can get in and drive the car so I can look where the noise is coming from anyone else have this problem.

How much of a drop do you have?

Trob85 · 12-17-2013, 04:24 PM

That's quite a bit of drop with that much I think that you most likely hitting something, But I've seen it done before without issues.

Im running a 1" all around no issues but still have oems on there.

Did you zip tie your parking brake cable so it won't hit? Have you tightened your sway bar nuts? What are you and/or the suspension doing when it makes the noise? Turning, hitting a bump, unloading suspension, hitting a steep driveway, etc?

Ok so I searched for it found out that I wasn't the only one with this problem it is the brake cable hitting the tpms valve stem I'll zip tie it to the trailing arm problem solved

I've never understood why aftermarket wheel companies put a valve stem on the inside. It's not like it does anything but cause problems.

They should either put it in the center of the wheel or use the small valve stem so it only sticks up 1/8in not 1/2.
