Hello all. Recently installed the Steeda bushing kit. Simple enough install. Results are as promised. I've noticed a very clear "whoop whoop whoop" noise coming from the real. Low speed only. 5-10 mph. Goes away ( or at least I can't hear it) when I go faster. Figuring just picking up tire noise now with the aluminum inserts at the bushings. No noticeable vibration associated with the noise. Any thoughts?

As someone who is planning on buying this set and installing soon, I’d love it if someone who has done this already (I know there are many) would comment on your issue..

The bushing kit does tighten things up in the rear, and there is some more noise. I can accept the trade off. But most of the time I am alone in the vehicle. I just turn up the music and enjoy the ride.

I have a 25' ST. I have these Steeda bushing supports and have never heard any added noise what so ever from them.

I also have a diff brace, a JXB bushing insert for the 3-bolt subframe, and a Traxda 1.5" lift kit on it. No added noise or vibrations for me on anything.
