Last night after work, i wanted to see if there were any sounds coming from my aals, so i went over a curb and as the tire hit the ground, split second later, i hear this ding which i believe was the rear aal. This morning when i went out to get some breakfast, everytime i stepped on the brakes going 5mph to a stop, i hear dings!! is this normal for a spacer and aal setup??

 

after work tonight, i listened carefully to the sounds and it sounds like shutters!!! Im thinking that it could be the ubolts holding the aals together.. maybe it got loose?... The tech installed the aal inbeetween the second leaf from top top and the third one(bottom) i will try to check first thing when i get a chance.. but what do u guys think??.. If it is loose.. is it bad to drive with it like that?

 

Sound to me like you need noisier tires or to turn up the radio try spraying some lube between the leaves. It might just be friction. If the u-bolts are loose you would know it because the thing would always make noise and handle funny. Also look at the leaves, is there an overload leaf that is not always touching the main leaf pack? It may just be swing up and hitting the main pack and making your noise.

THANKS~!!! I went back to the shop that had them installed.. and guess what?? The screw was there and everything holding it in place.. but there was no NUT bolting it down!!!!!!!!!

 

What was missing the nut? The spring pack or some of the U-bolts.
