Default need help with lcon traction bars. loud clunk when braking and accelerating.

I've got a problem. I have installed a lcon traction bar for the 88-91 civic. I have run into a problem with a loud clunk sound from the front every time I brake medium or hard, and when I take off. I have the radious rods adjusted(shortest length) down as tight as I can get them. woundering if that could be the problem. how should they be adjusted for daily street driving? please help

how they should be adjusted is by your alignment shop. they change caster, and have some other side affects i won't get into.

Check your 3 mounting bolts on each framerail and make sure they are tight, then drive your car to an alignment shop and have it properly adjusted

would a caster problem cause the clunk sound? what other side effects? also do I adjust the radious rods at the front or the back near the lca. Last question, do the u shape brackets that go on the shock fork go vertical(u shape ends on top and bottom) or horizontol (u shape ends on left and right)? thanks
