SAW rear question

motorvisions · 02-20-2008, 06:24 PM

the spherical bushings allow the shock to twist into the frame. Any way you guys know to soften the blow of it hitting?

yea I bought a set but have not done the install yet. Just wanting to found out in case they start making noise. Are your's making noise when off roading or all the time?

I have SAWs and my rear clunks like a bltch on bumps. Wonder if thats the noise?

i havent done much offroading, since ive put them on - but i havent heard any banging, i just know they will im sure. also keep track off those bushing halfs when you cut the ziptie off.

Typically no one notices them touching the frame, unless you actually swing them over by hand. If they are making a noise form pivoting on the uniball, shoot me a pm and ill get you a rubber donut that goes over the upper spacer that will prevent that.

I doubt thats what is causing the noise on my truck, but I will put something in between to see if it stops anyways.

Everytime someone new rides in my truck I say "Don't worry about the clunking noise, its not going to fall apart"

If you don't have it now, I doubt you will hear it later. Hahaha. I swear mine sounds like the blocks are loose (which they're not) and just bangs the axle.

I've run my truck with and without the rubber donuts and can't tell the difference. If you're hearing a clanking sound its probably not that.

alright guys thanks, yeah the only reason i was questioning it was i rotated it into the frame when installing. havent heard any noises so far - its all gravy in my book.

Sounds like I have this problem:
SAW's are back on

Can I test out using my STOCK shocks or are they just too short?
