Noisy UCA

[Big Ben]

I recently installed the Whiteline Adj. UCA and hear a slight clank over every bump now and it's starting to drive me nuts. I have checked all is tight and it seems to work great traction wise. I am just wondering how common this is?

Other suspension mods are:

BBR Billet LCA's
Steeda Adj Swaybar
UPR Adj Panhard
Steeda Sport Springs
Koni Yellows

Did you install the UCA at the same time you did the other mods?...Did you set the pinion angle?

Sorry to hear this.

As asked above, did you install everything at one time?

Something I have seen over the years, is some manufacturers have/do offer UCA systems that actually contact the differntial housing when the suspension is compressed. You may want to lift the car up and check for contact marks on the UCA.

If you want to call me and discuss, I would be happy to assist you in locating the noise.

If your UCA connections are tight, you may also want to check the torque on the panhard bar bolts - should be 129 ft. lbs. Mine made it's way lose driving on bumpy roads over time. I retorqued them after applying blue loctite - problem solved.

Stromboli! :beer:

Yeah man PHB loosened up and was making noise while going over bumps.

My Whitleline uca doesn't make any noise if thats any consolation. Did you use the Whiteline bracket also?

Thanks yes next step is to put on a lift and check the PHB and also for contact marks on the UCA. I had all the other mods before, but after a slight accident I had purchased everything again new and installed at once since I had to replace the rear. I really think its something with the UCA as the added vibration is noticeable. After reading the second thread now on failed Whiteline units I think a Steeda UCA is in order.

Encouraging. Yes I have the one piece unit with bracket.

Car is going to Steeda for a Steeda UCA and complete check out! I anticipate my next post being all smiles.
