Torque Boxes Be F_cked

[LilBerx]

Well, me and my buddy were scoping out his car cause he was getting a slight thump after letting off the throttle. It only started after we threw a different rear end in. We put his old one back in....

Would cracked torque boxes be the factor in this?...

Did it stop when you put the old one back in?

 

[LilBerx]

It didn't do it before we put the new rear end in, or after. It started when we threw the old one back in. He has south side LCA's and they also have brackets that were drilled to the LCA axle mounts

Doubt it is torque boxes. Mine made a clicking noise when taking off. If it was completely ripped out it would clunk.

I'm surprised no one has asked the condition of the bushings yet or the material they're made of. I leave for a year and the board goes to !

What are the condition of the bushings and what material are they made of?

Southsides are hell on torque boxes in general. Did you leave a wrench on the upper control arm bolts? Did you check the new rear end before it was installed? If so where is the backlash at?

rule of thumb in general mechaincs you learn if you touch something and after it made a noise that it didnt re trace your steps back ward and figure out why
