Ultimate Lowering Package Install Problem
Just installed the kit this week. I love the way it feels but it has scared the crap out of me a couple times. When I stomp it in first and shift to second the car makes a "clunk" that would make anyone with a weak heart feel faint. The car doesn't spin and doesn't hop any more but the sound is making me nervous. Is it installer error or is this normal for this upgrade?

Noise is normal because you take all the rubber out of the suspension. After you put some miles on it retorque all hardware. Did you do drive shaft?

No. Should I have done the drive shaft?

The mechanic said he checked the pinion angle after the install was all said and done. I am going back for LCAs which were backordered next week and I will ask him to look again and let you know if you are curious.
