I replied on the other forum but will post it again here.
Todd, You have a problem that several of us had/have.It took me months to find the squeek on mine.Thought it was the shock or bushing. I found it by accident. It is the rod ends on the 4 link. Jim Woodard and I both switched them out for QA1. The "extra high strength chrome moly,teflo/kevlar bearing race. COMPLETELY changed the ride and handling ! and no more squeeks. |
thanks
Is there a place that sells those? It is so loud I can hear it over my sidepipes!!!!!! what a pain!!
Todd |
Summit sells them!

Todd,
You sure are right about the squeeks being a pain. The difference in the ride and handling are dramatic.After resetting the pinion angle after the swap caused a huge difference in traction as well.It hooks up now. http://racerpartswholesale.com/ phone 800-397-7815 This is where Jim and I got ours. QA1 The high strength alloy series features a heat treated chrome moly body, 52100 steel ball, a teflon / kevlar self lubricating and self sealing race. Available in r.h. and l.h. thread.

Todd,
Was wondering if you got rid of those squeaks ? If you switched the rodends out,what do you think of the way it rides & handles now ? |
My car has been parked due to some family issues. I plan on doing it next month. I have not yet changed out the rod ends but will soon. Thanks for the info and I will let you know as soon as they are done.
