Default Creaking noise after installing snub mount

I put on a PureMS snub last weekend on my 2.8

The problem is that when I am slowly going downhill towards a stop sign, just as the car is coming to a stop, I am hearing a creaking noise, almost like a "pop pop pop pop pop". I didn't have any real issues getting the mount on. I changed the motor and tranny mounts 2 weeks prior, and the noise just started after the snub mount went on.

I will check it out this weekend, but I was wondering if anyone else has run into this.

Default Double check your subframe bolts...

I just did my Motor Mounts two weeks ago as well and yesterday morning I had the same issue. As I was pulling into my parking space at work I could hear a very loud Creek sound.

Once I got home, I put the car on ramps, put my SUV Jack under the Lower control arm and jacked it up to support the subframe and take pressure off of the Subframe bolt. Upon doing this, I could literally spin the bolt by hand.

I re-torqued the subframe bolts in this fashon, releaving pressure and torquing them down.

We'll see if it holds up...

Default Funny, I read his post and thought...

" I *did* tighten his snub up, didn't I? "

Now you know why I stop every once in a while and double check things
