XC70 Lift

Post by FiveArrows »

Installed suspension lift and subframe spacers on my XC70. Now I am hearing popping on the driver's side subframe when weight shifts fore and aft. Spacers on that side are loose and rattling, though subframe bolts are torqued to specs (105Nm + 120deg). You think I need subframe bushing inserts to quiet the popping?

Show your spacers. Mine are quiet and stay in place. Made of .65" T6511 aluminum.

Did you use new bolts? Had them lubricated?
