Can I remove the subframe locking pins without upsetting the geometery, finding it way too rough for road use lol

 

Sometimes, sometimes the (rear?) subframe will 'adjust' slightly back to where it (may have) came from....did they align straight in, if so they can probably come straight back out.

Yeah the pins were were put in first and subframe adjusted to be in the center before everything was tightened up and geometery set, just wandering if I remove the pins and the subframe moves will it knock the rear end geometery out?

 

Have removed the locking pins but the rear end is still knocking / grinding especially when parking or crawling in traffic, all bolts etc are tight, any ideas anyone?

 

Rear knocks can come from a multitude of places, I'm pulling my trim out when I get back as (from riding in the boot!) I've found what sounded like suspension noise is coming from the hatch hinge area!

Hi wasnt there a issue with some plastic locating pins they use when fitting the rear windows? they may end up squeaking etc

 

Maybe, but this is a clonking noise, sounds just like an ARB bush (which is what I thought it was).....besides I lent on the window and it made no odds!

There were no sounds at all until the whiteline diff support bushes were fitted alongside the locking pins, im going to remove the diff support bushes so its all back to standard and see how it goes
