I had a lot of what I thought was "driveshaft clunking noise" that I finally fixed this past weekend. It turned out that I had the locking nuts set incorrectly despite following the instructions. One nut goes up against the adjuster (opposite of the flanged side) and the other goes up against the knuckle. The instructions will tell you to set both locking nuts up against the adjuster, and you will have the most horrible clunking noises from even the smallest bump. I hope this helps someone in the future because I was about to throw this part out and put the stock one back in or the Roush UCA. I should have noticed it before installing but it was hard to tell when on the garage floor with poor lighting and in a rush to finish before I ran out of beer and before midnight (not a good situation to be in a rush when working on a car, I know). Now if only I could get rid of that 70MPH diff whine!
