I just put on a full race traction bar. I have tokico illumin whatevers and skunk 2 adjustable coilovers.

Since I put on the traction bar I hear a clunk the load of the car changes direction I.E. When I start to accelerate or Stop. Now Im starting to hear it over bumps as well.

Ive already searched and the only thing I found was to check the LCA bolts. But I didnt see anything about the traction bar causing this problem. Any info on things to check would be great!

Thank you in advance!!

 

check around every piece that moves around the traction bar for scratching or dents. but sounds like your rear l bracket (t bracket) is loose.

 

Did you check all the bolts/heim joints to make sure everything was tight? Any play with the radius rods? When i had mine i had to check them periodically, id start there

 

thank you. i will be checking EVERYTHING soon to come.

 

update: There were a few bolts that were loose. Mainly on the radius rods, but they are all tight now. The clunk is still here though, not nearly as much, but never the less, still there. Any suggestions? Thank you.

 

It's just the joints moving around, every traction bar makes some sort of sound. Theres no way around it.

 

I have the same issue with the innovative bar. but only on the left side. Bugs the hell out of me. I have checked and rechecked everything. made sure to simulate the suspension being under load with a jack before I inspected.

 

I also used to have this problem with my spoolin performance tb, Id spray a lill wd40 to cure it for a few months. For some reason it just stopped doing it so I no longer have to lube it.

oh and ur avatar is completely homosexual haha but funny none the less

 

Traction bars will usually make some sort of sound. But make sure that the spearical bearings are perpendicular to the bolts when your car is lowered, and the radius arms tightened. You radius arms should be able to rotate a little side to side.

 

Double check all the suspension parts make sure that didn't make any existing issues more noticeable.
