So is there a way to tighten up the rear suspension without getting the NVH? I personally can't handle engine or suspension noise. That's why I've never run a solid flat tappet can in any of my street cars.

Want your car to sound stock? Then keep it stock.

Travis,

Welcome to the forums!

Your shop should know this but polyurethane bushings should be lubed with silicone grease (like SuperLube) and NOT with a conventional grease as the hydrocarbon version will degrade the polyurethane.

HTH,

Chris

Okay, I’ll give my shop a call and ask them if that’s what they used or not, hopefully they used the correct lubricant

Correct lubricant was used, everything was done properly it seems. Just a noisy suspension because of the NVH lol

I provided a link above...
That rear kit doesn't have any polyurethane bushings to speak of.

I understand that, but I gave my shop a call and they told me they used their own silicon lubricant for my kit
