That fixed mine w/o welding the rear, which is not in the instructions.

Your definitly supposed to weld the rears. Your probably not hurting anything by not haveing them welded, but they'd be a lil stiffer if they were

Please ignore my aforementioned post. I'll pass the crack pipe sooner next time.

Edit: Or maybe welding the rears isn't mentioned in the written instructions...just on their site???

^^^trying to save face a lil...

Ok guys, I loosened the bolts with the rear hanging and the car supported with jackstands under the rear subframes, then jacked up the rear, and tightened the bolts as much as I could. This did the trick.....no more clunking or squeaking. thanks guys
