Default ARB Diff covers

Yesterday I finally installed my ARB diff covers, front and rear. As you can see from my signature, I have an Full Traction Ultimate lift. Does anyone else have this set up? And if so, have you experienced any problem or hear any noises?

I was driving through a very rough street today and kept hearing some banging noises. I'm afraid that the steering stabilizer, or something else is bumping against the front diff cover.

Any help or suggestions, as always, is appreciated.

Thanks

You didnt have the noise before the covers?

Is there marks on the diff covers from the track bar hitting?

If not tighten your suspension down, it might just be the arms loose.

No I didn't have the noise before and do not see any marking, yet. I just retorq'ed the suspension.

So I'm thinking it is either the steering stabilizer or the control arm (?) that crosses in front of the diff cover in the front.

Thats the trackbar. I dont have the ARB, but I had to slightly adjust my arms to pull my axle back, so my Solid cover would avoid hitting the track bar.
