I removed mine, but after installing maximum motorsports adj. lca's. I was thinking about reinstalling them though just in case. Not sure if they will clear my 18/10 inch wheels though?

is the noise both left and right turns? I have a similar noise but it only comes on a hard/moderate left turn. A long while ago I had a blown quad but i don't recall any noises coming from it.

you check the mufflers and the piping to see if it's contacting the chassis anywhere?

When I took everything of my car the quad shocks were totally busted and marking squirkin sounds, as well as the passenger side UCA (diff side mount was all worn out). I had nasty wheel hop WITH the quad shocks on lol...
