Hey guys,

I just got done installing new roto joints on my LCAs, competition engineering drag shocks, 2 PT SFCs, and a tunnel mount UMI adjustabe torque arm and have some questions...(this is on a '96 Trans Am)

1) Why am I hearing the shocks so much? I can hear the shocks compressing/decompressing and its really noticeable...Has anybody else had this problem?

2) Should I just get used to the torque arm being pretty noisy? I'm 99% sure I set the pinion angle right (drive shaft was +2, rear was -4). I can hear the torque arm clunk going over bumps and sometimes when I hit the gas/brakes...I know alot of people complain about this problem, but I just want to be sure nothing is wrong.

The suspension seems to feel more solid, but its noisy to the point where I can hear it over my exhaust (Long tubes and LMII).

Thanks for the help!
