    creaky notch....

    hey guys. looking for some advice. just did wilwoods. 31 spline. rims /tires. strange 10 way f/r. lowering springs f/r. new isolators. ford racing a arms. tie rods. our upper and lowers. anyway car creaks like crazy. sounds like from both front and rear. I went thru everything. guys at dasilva did. said all is tight or looks fine. car is a orginal paint clean car. so don't think it's rotting away type thing.. but what should I look at nxt it re check. there's no way the car should sound like a old lumber truck..

    Depending on parts used / installation procedure, no it should not.
    Same question as above + was all final tightened at ride height?

    Subframe connectors in the car? Rubber, urethane, or rod end mounts?

    Do you mean UPR upper and lowers? If so mine creaked like a bitch. Replacing the factory bolts that had some surface rust with brand new ones helpe a bit, as does keeping them lubricated.

    Suggest you remove uppers / replace with set from either Ford Racing or 99up GT. Bind is not your chassis best friend.

    Lesson learned, rod end control arms have no business in a street car.

    I have rod end ones in mine now, I needed adjustibility to correct pinion and I know not to use Poly on the uppers. Whats wrong with rod ends? They should cause 0 bind from what I understand.
