    You check whatever nuts and bolts are all tight? Not loose?

    If you didn’t do a sway bar drop, is the sway bar hitting the spring.

    Saw what you just posted so taking out my other questions.

    I was going to ask if the UCA is hitting the tire but that sounds like metal to metal.

    Shouldn’t… at least not that I remember reading here anywhere


    are the lca bolts to the frame tight? Sometimes the alignment shops don’t tighten and torque them.
