hammer to get them out and press to get them in.

and that could be an axle, cab's wouldn't really do that.

ya i have a similar weird noise but only in aggressive right hand turns, just replaced my cabs as they were pretty bad but that didn't do much to help that, i don't think its axle binding but could be. but if it was it would have been evident when i first lowered my car.

with noises its really hard to diagnose over the internet. if you could get a video of it making the noise then we could certainly help more

any lowering can cause axle binding. but yes the more aggressive the lowering is, the more likely axle binding will happen. i had my car lowered for almost 2 years before this noise started. at first i thought it was a seperating tire, then end links, then cabs, checked my hubs (they are all tight) and no rubbing marks. only thing left is my imagination or axle binding. as i can't think of anything else.

sorry to thread jack.

depends on where you get the axles from. if your lowered i recommend grabbing the steering rack spacers to bring everything back into proper alignment. thats about all you can do for preventative mods for it.

Incorrect.

Rotated trans mounts as well.

good one. prolly right.

ps rack spacers wont work without rotated mounts. Thin rack spacers that clear stock mounts dont cure bump steer on a lowered car particularly one slammed hard on megans with fender rub...

really, i thought the whole point of the rack spacers was to merely bring the rack back up to proper geometery, what effect does the trans mount have on the suspension unless it raises the rack as well?

On my H&R's I had mad axle bind from 0-20mph, once the rotated mounts were installed. BOOM, it was gone.

That's not the only reason I got the mounts, but it was definitely a plus.
