JBA track bar noisy?

Hey all,

My rear suspension is noisy over bumps since lifting. The clunking is not caused by contact between the gas tank skid and drive shaft, and there is nothing actually loose-- I had the 4x4 shop re-check it after about 150 miles. They said there is no safety issue and said it's probably the adjustable track bar making the clunking noise over bumps. The JBA track bar uses Heim joints rather than rubber bushings like the OEM track bar. The noise sounds to me like it's on the driver's side.

So, those of you running JBA track bars-- do you just live with the noise, or is there a way to quiet it down? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Otherwise, I love everything about the new lift.

My track bar was noisy for a while. I got replacement joints from JBA and it fixes the problem so far. Another common noise is the shocks not being tight. The bolts would be tight but you need to add washers to make sure tere is no side to side movement.

You sure it's not the shocks moving about the rear mine needed more washers to quiet them down
