creaking rear suspension

[Nerass]

i just installed the bmr drag springs and i'm getting a creaking sound from what sounds like the passenger rear.

last time i had my wheels off the springs looked to be seated correctly, and i felt like everything was torqued when we installed them.

it only happens when moving from a stop, and i hear a metal-on-metal type sound when i hit bumps at slow speeds.

i'm thinking a control arm bolt may be loose? particularly the one that's impossible to get to with the spring in place.


awaiting my viking shocks then i'll be tearing into it again to see if i can find the problem, just wondering if anyone's experienced the same sound

I doubt this thread is active, but any fix on this?

once springs are seated you need to have the back of the car on ramps and loosen all control arm bolts and giver er a couple bounces from the rear. then re torque. The bushings may be binding. I had same issue until doing this
