I just installed my jimfab traction bars a couple days ago, and noticed that they make a popping sound under braking (and also sometimes when hitting a dip in the road while turning).

Has anyone experienced this? Before when I had 0 preload, it was making more noise, but it was more like "clanging", but now i can make a consistant "pop" noise under braking. I can do it consistantly too.

Thanks

 

anyone?

 

not at all.....no noise whatsoever. get an alignment and have the caster adjusted to you car...

 

i dont have traction bars, but i get that same noise under those conditions.. braking etc

 

UPDATE** If anybody else has this problem


It was a loose heim joint on the passenger side control arm. The rod end was not fully tightened and when I was braking, it was being pushed to the side and hit the metal bracket.

I tightened it up GOOD, put three turns of preload, lubed up the rod ends with some lithium grease and they don't make a sound now.


For the JIMFAB traction bar!
