GEN 2 Post Deaver Clunk

[TrackRat]

Since installing my Deaver +3 SD I have noticed an occasional clunk under hard acceleration from the rear. Due to retorque everything but has anyone else experienced this?

I get an occasional noise when backing out of my driveway. Not sure I just need to lubricate the leafs, or if something needs to be tightened. The noise isn't very loud and doesn't happen often.

I get it too.

I have had my Deaver +3 SD for almost 18 months and I do not have any weird noises with mine. I am running a 93 PRX tune from MPT, so hard acceleration happens...

I got a half turn on all the U bolts on the retighting. Will probably check one more time and call it good. No noises but I caked them with amsoil rust proofing and lots of bushing lube.

the clunk is most likely either a loose u-bolt, or your shackles are overtightened and binding.

Me four. I checked the u-bolts and e-brake cables this weekend. Kind of annoying, sure love these springs otherwise!

Stick a GoPro back there and film from different angles. Sounds like something binding due to the torque but I am by no means a leaf spring expert.
You could hit the gas while holding down the brakes and not moving to see if this makes the issue present itself.

Good idea, will try that this week.
