Hello everyone, before I rant about my bad financial decisions I would like to introduce my car. I have a 1981 gmc caballero with a 305/th350 combo.
I recently installed a UMI front suspension kit for my g-body, specifically the corner max kit that comes with the 3056 adjustable upper control arms. I installed the UMI kit myself and torqued everything to correct spec and greased all my ball joints, but to my surprise, it had a clunk coming from the upper control arms.
I ended up tracking down the clunk to be coming from the joints that hold the control arm onto the crossbrace. I have tightened the bolts, sprayed silicone grease on the joints, and it seems no matter what I do the arms still clunk incessantly! I am genuinely stumped with this issue and would appreciate help please!
