REAR end noise after installing spring/shox

[e30s50dan]

Ok, just installed billys/sport spring and i am hearing noise from rear end.sounds like a stone in tire noise..new tires and new CV joints,but still that damn annoying noise,cant really feel it though! only thing i can think of is maybe since i lowered it a inch or so,that the CV joint are now compressing on the rear end causing the noise.

I didnt have this noise untill i installed the spings/shox....any ideas???

thanks

anyone....I think i need to raise the rear a tad.maybe 10mm...wheres the best place to get spring pads?

Does the frequency of the noise increase with vehicle speed?

[e30s50dan]

yes it does..thought it may have been from the camber of the rear tires now,sitting to low,but i just raised it up 10mm...still have the noise

The camber of a wheel isn't going to cause any sort of noise or vibration issues unless you are rubbing

Is your rear end full of fluid since you replaced the axles. If so then the bearings are now trashed.

[e30s50dan]

yea the rear end was changed to synthetic..this noise ONLY started AFTER I changed springs/shocks..I have no idea!!

[TheB1G Lebowski]

Do you know any one with chassis ears?

Where in NC are you?

[e30s50dan]

Live near Greenville nc. You can hear the noise, but can't feel it. Main road was just paved and it is smooth as a pool table. Sounds like a nail in the tire. I did swap tires and no difference. May have a bearing going bad. Noise is very noticeable in rear but seems like it's coming from the drivers rear.

Yeah could just be bad timing for the wheel bearing and when you did your swap. It is odd.

You bumped the backing plate when you installed the shocks, and now its hitting the edge of the disc brake.

no I checked. Nothing rubbing just a harmonic noise like a stone in a tire. Can't feel it either.

Could you have accidentally swapped the tires left and right, and now you are hearing the tread?

I swapped tires around to make sure I didn't have a bad tire. I also thought that I may be hearing the harmonics from the inside tread since there is more camber now. I can't believe nobody has had this trouble before. What the hell. !!!
