How long...

does it take for the JBA UCA's to stop clunking if i didnt make the pocket bigger? It's been doing it for a while...and I'm getting concerned that maybe it's not just the arm hitting anymore lol

 

[yellocoyote]

Mine never clunked. But I did cut the pockets.

Did you torque them when the vehicle was weight bearing on the ground?

 

[WickedBruce]

Yup

 

[tommudd]

I've never had mine clunk either, nor any of the others I installed
Are you sure of where the "clunking" is coming from?
Oh and mines cut out as well

 

[WickedBruce]

It sounds like its coming from the passenger side. It only does it on small bumps or little pot holes. for exampled my backstreet is a slight incline, when i come down the road i turn right up into it and it does it then. My wife says she can't tell where it's coming from. But to me..its the pass

Sorry to hear about your noise WB...

Since this is on topic .. what does everybody recommend ...

Cut the pockets or No?

 

[tjkj2002]

I'd be checking the swaybar links and everything else for loose bolts.

I never cut my pockets out and never heard the UCA's self clearancing the pockets either.

 

[WickedBruce]

Well I'll be checking everything in the morning. Wish I had a garage to escape the cold though =(

 

[WickedBruce]

Just attempted to tighten everything on the front passenger side and everything seems good. checked out the driver side as well and everything is good there. maybe i'll have to take a ride in the passenger seat for once and see if i can distinguish a different location.

Where in PA are you, one of mothers friends live around Allentown I think he may have a shop for his off months and he's a master welder too got more certs than I have fingers and toes haha I could prolly get him to let you use his lift if he still has it I remember him having a big garage for his cars

 

[WickedBruce]

I'm pretty close to Allentown. About an hour. I'm not sure what else to check, but I'll have the wife drive so I can listen

I don't think I have any clunking....I've had the JBA's for 6 months.

Did you open your pockets? lol ...I mean after you paid the $395

 

[WickedBruce]

No I didnt. It's almost like a clunk rattle combo. Like two fast clunks. I started testing with some potholes...and i get it on the driver side too. Now I went and verified that all bolts are tight and secure. I get significantly less of the clunks on the driver side, and after inspection of the pockets...i noticed that the drivers side are bent way more then the passenger. Which may explain why it happens more on that side. Maybe I should cut these f*ckers

Nope....tjkj said that they'd self clearance if need be. After a trip to the Badlands and 6 months, I don't see any evidence that they did. I'll check again when I rotate my tires. Isn't it strange how different everyone's KJ react to things?

Strange is a polite word for it ....lol ... on this end it's ^%&$%$*&%$

 

[WickedBruce]

Well I havent heard the noise at all after driving about 60 miles. So I literally have no idea what it was. lol.
