what it do everybody:
I have some noises comming out the rear end area in my car
Currently I installed upper and lower tubular control arms with
rubber bushings and i also installed Poly ureathane coil spring
Perch mount I also have welded BBk Gripp series subfram connectors. Know When i enter driveways and the body flexes i get this poping noise in the rear but i cant drive and be under the car
i cant tell if its the subframes or the control arms.
any body have this problom B-4.?????:lit_up

it could be that your rear wheels are rubbing when you make a turn hitting a slop... check out your tires...

Thanks for the advice bro, however its Probably not the tires. the noise is distinctly metal popping not rubber making contact with metal. when i did my five lug conversion i had to roll the fenders And i added the perch mounts so that gave me more room to play with. but its a poping type of noise.:headscratch:

You might want to check the boxes the control arms mount to, you might have a broken weld and it could be allowing flex to happen.

yupp sounds like the torque boxs, my upper control arm ripped from the chassis. i had to cut open the floor, bend everything back and weld it.
