I heard some people complaining about road noise after installing control arms but what you're experiencing is NOT normal in my opinion.

You're more than likely okay...for peace of mind's sake though, go around and make sure everything is tight...always good to do about a week after the install...

I don't see why it should be making any vibrations. Just a lot more road felt through the SOTP. If anything i would check the bushings and see if everything is properly lubed. I prefer KY jelly jk But inspect everything and make sure all bolts are tightened up to proper specifications.

btw. You really don't need Upper control arms on a non 10sec car. LCA's are really all you need. Also you can remove your quad shocks for weight savings. Great choice in LCA's hope everything goes right for you. btw thanks for your service.

great stuff. I'm worried about dropping my stang too low because my MRT o/r h-pipe hangs a bit low. I also have c-springs. fronts uncut and rears cut 1 full coil. Pretty much level like yours but not as low.
none the less great looking car. Black mustangs rock! woohoooooo
