Bmr suspension or my shocks?
First let me start off by saying I’m aware there are MULTIPLE threads about this subject as I’ve been researching all of them to pinpoint this issue.
My car has full BMR suspension, caster camber plates, front and rear sway bars with end links, rear toe rod, top and bottom trailing arms and upper control arms.
My springs are stock and shocks are stock.
I had the car sitting on some spicy negative camber for about 6 months now. And recently installed a zl1 add on tow hook for the LT1.
Originally I thought it has to be the tow hook adapter plate or bar touching something. So I located my horn and seen it was resting in between the two bolts…that didn’t stop the noise so I ruled that out.
I got brand new sway bar end links from BMR slapped them on preloaded the suspension and adjusted per BMR instructions.
I’m at a lost as to what is making the noise, it’s a clunking metal on metal noise.
It started off a few months ago as a styrofoam rubbing together noise. Front and rear.
Now it’s still the styrofoam noise in the rear but I know I need to add a washer to my rear sway bar bushing mount (just haven’t gotten around to it).
I checked everything all of my torque specs are okay nothing is lose nothing is touching.
I’ve ruled it has to be my shocks from sitting at such an aggressive negative camber for so long they wore out.
Any ideas or suggestions.
I cannot get the noise to duplicate unless it is actually driving. I’m 210lbs I bounce this car with all my might and weight and no noises but as soon as I’m driving even 5 mph it’s just clunky. My last resort is to get new shocks and see if that fixes it. I also put the car back to normal camber and the noise kinda got worse which leads me even more to believe it’s the shocks.
Tempted to take all of the BMR parts off due to this noise.
