I just instaleld a Fabtech 6" lift on my H2, need clarification on a problem: Im experiencing a thumb noise when i turn either direction. A sliding noise then a thumb, and accordingly, the rear end feels way too loose. Any ideas anyone ?

I had the same issue on mine. When I took the bodies out of the cargo area, it stopped.

James, what bodies are you talking about... im unclear

Gotcha... good one, but the bodies in my H2 are tightly wrapped and tied down ! took a while but finally got there.

Usually when I hear a "thumb" noise, it is from a passing vehicle and is preceded by someone yelling "HEY!" then giving me the thumb.

Seriously though, I would check the panhard rod that connects the rear end to the frame. Check it for loosness and look closely at the bushings for damage.

Thanks ! Will keep you posted... and once the tires arrive, will post some pics....

A loose rear end is sometimes indeed the panhard bar.

This bar keeps the rearend stable from side to side.

Reach under and see if there is any play.

A loose rear end is something I am used to.

My bar moves in the rearend from side to side.

A reach around is also necessary if there is any play. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>FIXED
