Another popping suspension thread
Heres the deal. Ive pretty much read every thread on here about popping suspension.
So ive replaced the end links and sway bar bushings with Pfadts.
It was terrible before but now its much better but still some noise.
My twist is every time i take it on some back road for a little fun time
, i come back with the suspension popping a lot worse than when i left.
Im hoping that this will narrow down the problem so i can wipe it out for good.
And also what is the correct torque spec on Pfadt end links and bushings. I torqued them to about 75 ft/lbs so that could be a problem there. And the sway bar bushing are torqued to around 50 ft/lbs.
Thanks for the help.

I didn't orient them like the directions said. I have the bolts opposite of one another. Ill snap some pics tomorrow and post them up.
Thanks
