Just wondering if I have A-Arm contact.... I installed a frankie about a month ago. This was the first real wheeling I have done since I put it in... When either wheel caught a little air, occasionally I would hear a pretty load knocking sound. Could this be the Upper A-arms smacking the coils? Any other ideas? Never heard before the frankenlift.... |

Was it at "ride height" (sitting on ground) when you tightened the sway bar end links? If so, I'd say you could have a-arm/coil contact. Love the avatar, btw. |

loosen the sway bar end-links, drive about 15 feet forward, then re-torque them, take it around the block or two and see if that helps. |

I re-torqued both, as well as the mounts for the sway-bar. |
