Unhappy ticking from rear after lca's and torque arm

I posted this about a week ago but I didnt get a reply. I installed a Spohn torque arm and Spohn LCA's last week and now I have a "ticking" noise from some where in the rear end. It is related to speed because the ticking gets faster as the car speeds up. also it goes away immediatly when I hit the brakes. I have already ckecked the pinion angle, sitting right at -1*, and re-greased all the new bushings. I also replaced the shocks in the car today. I have already ordered new poly bushings for the panhard rod and rear sway bar (heard that might fix the problem). I do not believe that it is in the ring and pinion gear because I had it checked out about 3 months ago and it was fine (different problem) I'm thinking it might possibly be the u-joints, but I'm not sure.....any other suggestions?

Cool

I had the same ticking noise .It is slow when you are driving slow,and increases with speed.Found out it was my tires.Have your car put up on a rack,and spin the tires slowly and look for nails.(I had my car checked for this 4 years ago including bearing checks and everything,and the noise didn't go away till I got new tires.)Hope this helps.

I believe its the torque arm, mine though not the same uses the same slider design and does the same thing, its the slider. You can try putting some grease on it, helped mine out a alot.
