Been about 6 months with the AC 3" suspension lift on. I also did the torsion bars and shocks earlier. I noticed that theres a slight squeek (like rubbery sound) coming from the upper arms... is this just because of the polyurethane (sp?) replacement parts in there?

Also The truck is stiff as hell, I know the stiffer bars and shocks are partly to blame but WOW made a hell of a difference, is it just me or others too?

Thanks

Mark

Are you saying it has always been stiff since the lift, or just recently?

sorry its always been stiff I think i just noticed it cause i havent been driving it around too much... still normal? It's like every bump in the road the truck lets me know its there

Could be a bunch of things...but the most likely is over torque on the UCAs/shock bushings/lack of lube.

Did you grease the zerks?

Use a torque wrench on the bolts?

Crap mine rides like a Porsche now after the lift, well in comparison to stock. You used to a car?

^^^ Thats exactly it I am used to a car, like nice cars, so the xterra lifted now is like a shock to me

Did you grease the zerks? Yea, but maybe not enough...

Use a torque wrench on the bolts? Yeap sure did

I've found that the Mobil1 Synthetic Grease seems to be excellent for this type of lube job...it sticks when wet better than the others, yet hold up when hot better than the marine type greases.

thanks tj ill give it a try
