Question Anyone ever have issues with BOLT ON SFC'S ???

Anyone ever have any issues AFTER installing bolt of SFC's ??

I've got a set similar to the SLP BOLT ON's ...

I keep gettin these horrific binding noises or flex noises after a rear shock/spring and LCA install and we lifted the car off the subframe's that are only bolted in, I'm thinkin we might have bent something a little and now its making a lot of weird noise or that its still my first guess and its the LCA's...

What does a bad shock sound like? Do you think it possible I got bad NEW OLD STOCK shocks ???

Also on the shocks is 1 rear supposeed to be stiffer then the other ??

or do they just take a lil bit to break in?

Thanks in advance for your help, I have another post with the shocks/spring install with other details if you care to try and help me out..

I finaly had my SLP SFC's bolt ons welded in. NO more creak at all. Just use lots of grease on the joints etc.
