Steeda Jacking Rails and creaking

[GTthree50]

I’m fairly certain it’s the rails. No weird sounds until I installed them and only at extreme angles going into a driveway. It’s not a big problem.

Just remove them. Wasted space and money. The pinch welds are more than capable of being jacked anywhere along their distance without bending them or damaging them in any way.

No issues here but I did have to remove a decent amount of sealant to allow them to bolt on flat.....

No issues here, I didn't scrape the sealant and have a steep Driveway. Just barley clears the splitter at angle.

I installed the BMR ones last weekend, and haven't noticed any creaking.

They recommend a torque of ~63 ft-lbs on the mounting bolts, so you might double check that.

Course, mine have been on for less than a week....

No creaking whilst driving.. plenty when jacking, but that is to be expected.
Rails have taken a battering over the 3 years of having them fitted, they are also a very convenient protection to the underside of the car over speed ramps in our area.
