I bought a rear TVT camber kit from the previous owner of my Crossfire. Since I've installed it, I hear a noice under the rear of the car when I go over a bump or turning at slow speeds. I get the impression the something is hitting the camber kit. Have any of you had this problem with the TVT kit?

 

Of the top of my head I thnk the straight bar hits the frame of the car. This would apply to all the straight bar types.
Or is it just creaking?

 

Hard to say. It's like a creak. You can hear a tap/click of something hitting the suspension. I checked to make sure it wasn't the exhaust. When we put it on the lift you can't see anything loose, but when it's on the lift the suspension is hanging low, so you're not going to see if something is too close to rub.

 

FP, it's possibly the sway bar. The end links must be shortened to match the new height of the suspension. MikeR used to make/sell both for this reason.

 

My car is now at standard hight. I've removed the lowering springs, but left the camber kit on.

 

I think those used heim joints for the ends? One may be on its way out, one of my ends produced a clunking type noise when it went bad. (MikeR arms though) with the wheel off the ground press all the way around the tire to check for play. Mine would only do it when pressing at about 7o clock (hard) but the noise was reproducible. (I posted a video but can't find it at the moment)

With the straight camber bars there can be contact between the camber arm and sway bar. This will make noises but is typically much louder and on large dips/bumps. (Unless you are really low). You can check under the sway or the top of the arm for signs of contact. If the contact is enough the bar can force the sway up into the body seam as well. You know when this happens because it's like BANG!! And your surprised to still be moving because the rear end certainly just came off.

 

I think I'll replace the camber kit with my OEM arms since I really don't need the adjustable camber since I'm at standard height. I like the idea of having adjustment for a better alignment, but not at the price of this noise.
