Check to make sure the ballstuds for the inner camber link mount aren't too long. If they are too long they will dig into the bearing holder for the diffs, and put a lot of stress on the 10x15mm bearings causing some interesting noise.

Other than that... clean your pulleys really good, and make sure the rear brace is on correctly. There is a side with a larger cut out by the layshaft, and that larger cutout goes on the drivers side of the car. If you don't do that it will also put some unwanted stress on bearings in the center layshaft.

Hope that helps!!!
