    I put some B&G springs on stock struts in my 06 GP, everything rides and feels fine when in drive but if i put it into reverse and give er a bit it makes a really loud grinding/rubbing/shaking noise right under my feet of the car. What is this caused by? and how do i fix it?

    I have shorter dogbones on it right now. Thanks

    your downpipe is hitting the underside of the car or your sway bar because the shorter dogbones pulled the top of the motor forward and pushed the bottom of the motor up and back.

    my car did this in reverse too, but once in drive it was fine. unless you get 'creative' with a hammer on the firewall and underside of the car im not sure that you'll be able to solve it.

    ya im not too sure how far i really want to take it. It only happens in reverse and only when i give it a bit of gas too. So really its not even that big of a deal to me.
