Torsion bar adjuster arms

I replaced the torsion bars recently to stop the clicking of the arms hitting the frame where they sit in place. The new adjuster arms came with a KEVLAR pad glued to the top of the arm. I think that these have worn out already. Any ideas as to what I can do now???

Jeez, I can't believe those are worn out already. Let's see, new torsion bars, torsion bar adjusters, adjusting bolts, right? Is your ride height ok?

Pull the rear covers off, squirt a bunch of wd-40 on the rear adjusters/pads and see if the noise goes away. While you are there, put a wrench on all the crossmember bolts, including the tranny bolts, and make sure they are tight.

Post back with results! Give some more detail on the noise and when you get it.
