Coupler noise?
I have an intermittent popping noise that I cannot identify. I thought it was binding sway bar bushings but I've lubed, Tefloned and adjusted them and the popping remains.
Could this be noise from failing torque tube couplers?
My 99 has about 66k miles with a 415HP LS1 that I bought with about 60k miles. I don't know if it was abused by the previous owner or not. The rest of the car seems well cared for.
Your thoughts appreciated.
