89 TA rear end noise........help!!
I have a very hot 89 TA street car cruiser (10.90s) and installed the 2" lowering springs, Mosar 12 bolt 4:11, all adjustable bars underneath including the Spohn torque arm. The rear end whines like crazy all thru the car. I've tried 3 different gearsets with no help. I've moved the pinion angle up and down-no help. I finally put the stock 9 bolt back in with the stock torque arm. Guess what.....it's not as bad but the noise is still there!! I've spent months looking underneath and I just can't figure it out. Before I lowered it, the stock 9 bolt was super quiet. What am I missing here?? I have worried with this for a LONG time. I love the car but I hate to drive it.

Also I connected the front and rear subframes and added a roll cage.

Bad tranny mount? Bad driveshaft? put the stock rear springs back in and see if that helps at all.

New tranny mount, driveshaft balance checked and both new u joints. I was trying to keep from swapping the springs but I may end up doing it.

I bet its loaded with POLY Bushings. Transfers and amplifies noise alot.

It might be the adjustments on the lower control arms...did you put the relocation brackets on the rear end when you lowered the car?
