LCA troubles

[whitdog54]

So I installed my umi single adj. LCAs

1982 - 2002 GM F-Body Tubular Adjustable Lower Control Arms [2016] - $169.99 : UMI Performance, Inc.

Those are the ones I have along with relocation brackets.

So after a weak or so, I developed a horrible rattle from the drivers side, right by the rear wheel. So I just tightened everything up again to the specs on the install sheet, and gave the bushing another squirt of grease. Worked, kinda. Couple days later it came back, worse then ever, and now the passenger side does it too!!!! Im 90% sure its coming from the bushing by the rear wheels, not the rod ends. Idk what to do :dunno: ive tried over tightening, under tightening, adding a little more grease. Nothing works. This is getting unbearable to drive with... any help or tips would be great.

Re: LCA troubles

sounds like it could be bad rod ends? I would contact umi...

Re: LCA troubles

You say bushing by the rear wheel?

The rod end goes on the axle side, the poly bushing side to the body/chassis side.

BTW rod ends are horrible on daily driven street cars JMHO.
