Hi guys.
Getting some front end noise after fitting 2" lift. its only during up and down travel and makes a lose knocking/clunking noise.
During the swap, I did try to undo the anti-roll bar link on LHS for more space to fit spring. Though I found the whole bolt would spin
and couldn't get nut undone. Fitting new suspension did put a mad angle on these links and bar.
These photos show current link positions and im not sure if bar should be centred on chassis.
Seems at least 10mm further to LHS.
LHS link bottom end sticking out

RHS link bottom end sticking in


Should these sit almost vertical?

Looks like you need a adjustable panhard rod to center your diff up to its factory postoin which will bring the links back to vertical

ordered.
Though they recommend only using on kits over 60mm.. I hope it has the adjustment in the thread
to suit the shorter lift.

ahhhh, makes sense - mine used to do this, never connected the dots. I removed my swaybar - if its not there its not broken

Will I need to order poly bushes to fit the rod?

New panhard in with noticeable difference in steering angle, which would indicate that a slight change in axle centre
does have quiet an impact on the car.
After fitting new bar and centring front axle, it has put the steering wheel out by 1/8th to the left.
I think to sort this out, I will just disengage airbag and reposition wheel, rather than attacking steering components.
Adding the panhard rod and centring the anti roll bar has made a big difference to the handling but not sure if this is a good thing?
feels a bit spongy around corners, think maybe because prior, the loading on the anti roll bar limited axle travel?

...still have a lose knocking noise in front end though, could it maybe be just the stiffer springs increasing the noise made from
spring movement on the bottom seat?

I'm having a similar problem with the down travel I get a loud thud knock it sounds terrible. The car has a dobinsons 2in lift on my 08 GV
