Ok, this noise totally boggles me. I'm in the car after I installed my LCA relocation brackets. All seems well. As I hit around 22mph, I start hearing a grinding/scratching/metal rubbing noise. Not sure what it is, but it's a rhythmic noise. It's not constant. I guess after a few revolutions, it goes away, and then after those few,it comes back. From what I can count, it's like 4-5 noises. Kind of like........ grind grind grind grind............ grind grind grind grind........... grind grind grind grind. I hope you's get what I mean. Never had that noise before the install. Anyone have some type of idea what I'm talking about? Or what it could be? Thanks!

damn, thats a tricky issue Uli.... i had something similar after my SFC install on my T/A, i got a clunk over certain bumps, i was never sure what it was. anyways....

if you cant figure it out, some shops can actually place microphones on the chassis and narrow down the noise, which might help. good luck dude.

I would double check to make sure everything is tight- does it have any relation to throttle position, either accel or braking etc..?

Nope. As long as it's over 22 mph, it'll do it. If I go to 30 and just let go of the accelerator or even brake lightly, it'll still do it. So nothing to do with stopping. My u-joints are very worn, so I'ma change that today. Someone mentioned that my driveshaft's angle was shifted and my u-joints are making the noises. So gotta check those first...
