Control Arm Drop Brackets

[Ford02Exp]

Does anyone know what these are or where to find them. When I got my Roadbully Spacers on, the All terrain guy messed up my suspension stuff and now my coil spring hits the A frame and everytime I hit a bump or anything, I hear this noise and it is just annoying enough to tick me off... Please help... Im all ears for suggestions

Nobody makes control arm drop brackets for our application... but what do you mean he messed up your suspension stuff?

 

[Ford02Exp]

I guess he disconnected one too many things when about to put in the front spacers and when putting it back together, he had to used a come-a-long and now my A frame is rubbing against my coil spring... I dont think that was suppose to happen??

 

[RoadBully]

Nope, that wasn't supposed to happen... did he bend or break something?

 

[Ford02Exp]

i have no idea. I havent looked hard enough up the to see of anything is broken, ill have to look tomorrow cus its too dark to now... but what could have broken that it is doing that?

 

[RoadBully]

I can't imagine, it shouldn't touch anywhere....
See if you can get a picture of where it's touching.

 

[Ford02Exp]

ill do that tomorrow and post it up.

 

[RoadBully]

It's been doing this the hole time since he installed the fronts? or just since the rears?

 

[Ford02Exp]

i thought since maybe the control arm is stretched down soo far now that it was causing the problem and if that was the case, why couldnt get like an extension to relief some stress off the control arm and maybe it would make the A frame not rub. but as of this point, I have no idea what to do, and if i go back to the All terrain guy, ill probably just get dicked around...

 

[Ford02Exp]

it started when the front got put on, but I thought it was because of the upper ball joints being blown but thats not the case.

 

[RoadBully]

STNGADC, have you had any issues with noises like this? I know I havn't , but the more input we have the better.

You might also check that the sway bar is tight, lets see some close ups real soon, doesnt sound good if used a come-along and maybe bent something.

 

[Ford02Exp]

This is whats going on... I think Im going to just take them off so I dont screw anything up while I have the chance. Roadbully, when you put those coil springs in the front, what did your setup look like after the install?

 

[jutgin]

its hard to see what is going on in that pic, I cant see the bottom of that spring, it kinda looks like it isnt seated properly. I would check that.

 

[RoadBully]

Mine is nowhere near with 3" longer springs, it doesn't look like your spring is seated right...
Holy crap your tire is almost rubbing too

 

[Ford02Exp]

what size are your spacers ben?

 

[jutgin]

Try taking a better pic like the one RB took.

 

[Ford02Exp]

ill have to try tomorrow cus its too dark here, jutgin, whats your setup look like?

 

[jutgin]

Like RB's. That spring will only seat one way, it really does look crooked.

 

[RoadBully]

what size are your spacers ben?

My springs are 3" longer,
Of course with the spacers you probably have an extra inch of lift on me... but an inch shouldn't make that much difference.
It really looks like your springs are in ****eyed.
I sent STNGADC a PM to see if we can get his input.. he has the same spacers as you in the front JB.
