mikeyan Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 any polyuerethane bushing has the potential to make noise. Invariable nature of poly when the grease dries out or gets washed out. marine grease tends to work pretty well and last a while, but don't be surprised if you might have to grease it every once in a while. If you're looking for the quietest solution, stay stock. Mike SoCal Duck Hunters Club - Unit 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axolotl81 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I think any heim joint endlink is going to make a lot of noise. I had them on my 350z and they would clunk like crazy. The solid style with the poly bushings would be your best bet for a quiet ride. And I agree with MIKEYAN, you'll just have to regrease the polybushings when they start squeaking.

Kin Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Is there any vendor in this forum selling Kartboy endlink? The best I found is from Rally Sport Direct for $180 a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawlwawl06 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 -1 on AVO...if you want less noise don't go with them. I had noise and someone else had noise... Anyone in vendor classifieds selling used endlinks? I am lowered with Cusco sways and I have had zero issues with the stockers. +1 I have teh noise too on my AVOs, I can live with it though, as long as I know whats causing it and that its normal...

If you're looking for the quietest solution, stay stock. MikeThis is the same with spherical bearing style endlinks. After a while the bearing will wear out and start to clunk or vibrate. Marine grease is a good way to keep them working longer. Pawl are you using AVO's solid poly style endlink or the ball joint style endlink?

ScoobySTi07 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 mmm not sure, but here they are: http://rallitek.com/avoreswbaren.htmlYeah those are the ball joint style endlinks. Are you just getting increased road noise in the cabin or some kind of clunking/vibrating? I installed a full set of these on my Outback about 1000 miles ago and haven't had any problems yet which is why I ask.

Pawlwawl06 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Just a lot of clunking. I took a look under the car to see if i could find a problem, but everything looks fine. I'll ask my local tech. about it when I go back for an alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbrunone Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 So I'm planning on getting some Cobb bars...should I go Group A links from Touge for $225 or Kartboy links for $200?? Anyone had any problems with either of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark-V Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Wanna check if your endlinks are bad? Put the car on ramps (this puts less pressure on the swaybars and links because the suspension isn't pulling down on them) and grab the swaybar near the endlink and push up and down. Clunking? It's the endlink. That's exactly how I narrowed it down on my car. Over EVERY little bump and dip the suspension was clunking. I JUST replaced both my fronts with the AVO adjustable, get the 55-65mm one, they fit the fronts. To check, measure the distance from the center of each bolt. ALSO, word of advice, my car has 68k on it, and the endlink bolts were pretty rusted. Just make sure the allen key doesn't twist in the slot. That's what happened to the bottom bolts on both my endlinks (the allen key hole rusted and just rounded out easily), I had to dremel the bolts themselves off... which sucked and took WAY too much time. Oh yeah, suspension clunking is gone. Gone gone gone. I'm happy again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone had any problems with either of these? Don't think you could go wrong with either. I was leaning towards Kartboy ..... until I saw the GroupA links.

caramall2 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 If your front setup is such that they're is a moderate size "side to side" gap between the swaybar and the mounting point (e.g. it's not straight up and down, but a bit cock-eyed) then I suggest ball and socket type endlinks. This is normally just an issue up front, not in the rear. Mine is that way so I went with AVO (seemed to do fine) then to Rallitek ball and socket type endlinks (RTK-HDELF, non-adjustable)--much tougher than stock but still ball and socket. I tried poly insert up front but I had to put in big spacers and it just wasn't a good situation. If you don't have the gap issue, then by all means, I'm sure poly-insert type work fine. In the back I have MSI poly-insert ones (not sure if they're making them any more) which are real nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
