Tubular Lower control arm noise

BADBULLITT08 · March 20th, 2009, 10:57 PM

This may be normal but I don't have anyone else to ask. I just installed Competition Engineering lower control arms, which are very similar to everyone else's on the market. The first thing i noticed is alot more road and tire noise coming from the rear end. Everything is torqued to spec, the factory driveshaft seems to be louder as well, is this normal due to the urethane bushing being a little tougher than the dinky factory rubber one, or do I an issue somewhere else??? Any input would be great. Thanks!

I have the same ones but with the rod ends, they seem to transmit the same level of noise as any other brand I have used on other cars. I do not believe you have a problem I noticed the exact same thing as you did after I put mine on.
