so its about time i posted this. after i completed my 4 bolt swap. driving around i get a clicking and poping noise. sometimes i get a rubbing noise.

this happens while driving. ive checked under the car and i see nothing rubbing or any contact of moving parts.

this only happens while moving, so i tried jacking up the car and leaving it in gear to try and better pinpoint the problem but there was no noise when i tried this.

so it only happens when the cars suspension and loaded ive got no clue what this would be

ive had halon kind of check this out as well and i just cant figure it out.

when i did the 4 bolt swap is was an entire suspension swap, as well as some agx's in the back

any help would be nice as im compleatly stumped

Is it possible thats the rack in pinion are bad? or thats your rear shocks are bad?

rack and pinion should be fine, this only started happening after doing the rear end, thats all i touched.

i guess it wouldnt hurt to throw the stockers back up there and see if that helps at all though, thanks for the idea

well i tried the shocks, to no avail. only other thing i can think of is that for whatever reason its the calipers making the noise.

Axle CV joints? Thats a common clicking noise from the rears on DSMs.

one of the front axles is a little loose, but the rears seem to be in good shape

When I was hanging out of your window, it sounded like the noise was for sure coming from up front, not the rear.

i just find it kind of odd this would happen after doing the 4 bolt swap in the rear. never touched the front, and it was fine before the swap.

you think a bad axle would make that kind of a noise?

What do all of your control arms look like? does the wheel wiggle L to R or up and down?

A bad CV joint would definitely make that kind of noise. When you put in the new rear axles did you check to make sure they moved freely without any weird noises or excess play? That would be the first place I would look.
