It creaks and crackled after you put the suspension and frame connectors on? That's weird. You would think it would make less noise now because the body is tighter.
I've been thinking that the louder "squeaks" and body noises went away and now I am hearing the "quieter" ones that were covered up by them:yawinkle:
The Hotchkiss system has stiffer leaf springs and had to be "re-mounted" at both ends and the perch so I think that is where the creaking is coming from.
The noises are worth it for the improvement in the handling, it really is like a different car.
Joe, I am sure you feel the same way after the Alterktion and RMS rear suspension changes to your car. I LOVE your car man, everything about it screams Bad ***!
