Author Topic: Torque Boxes ayoraider07 New Member Member # 6430 posted                              Anyone know of a shop that can do torque box repair located in Sacramento or Bay Area? My car makes a loud creaking noise on passenger rear side while making right turns over steep driveways/sidewalks. I believe the torque box needs to be repaired.

I'm guessing it's the bushing or the shock. I have aftermarket control arms and also subframe connectors welded on. I had u-joint replaced because the tranny/driveshaft was making a lot of noise when engaging in gear, still makes clunking noise when I let off the gas for a second and then jump back on it while in gear..any suggestions?

That's not to say it can't be a bad bushing as well. -------------------- 1965 Shelby Cobra 1993 Cobra 2012 F150 Raptor 2020 GT500 Posts: 6523 | From: Orlando FL/Redding CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  :
