yeah I will release the endlinks once we get confirmation that there are no noise issues.
All parts are in stock and ready to go.

Well, I eliminated all my noise... I had my suspension on soft and allowed too much travel.

I need them soon as I will start to adjust my suspension to go lower and also do fender mods. I would like to get them installed

it won't be too hard actually, just need to get back to designing. I have to make a few sets of caster arms ofr some high HP cars this week, so I should get that part done at least.


The front RCA will start at $150.

great news.... i need to tame some very aggressive wheels. a shorter lca and uca will help to not have to do aggresive fender mod.

So if there is a shorter LCA, camber would be more positive correct?, i just bought SPC UCA, still need to get Figs Toe rods(F/B) and RCA's

I would assume it's the case. I may end up drilling and smoothing rough surfaces, if possible, the section to allow more positive camber adjustment. I'll have to look at it. Safety first.
edit: easier said than done... I don't know what is affected by making the lca shorter or cutting the camber section to allow more positive will affect the other arm (s arm or whatever it is)

WELL confirmation mike, i have gotten my noise issue resolved. part of the reason i never addressed it in detail on here was i didnt want anyone to think it was your product. it def wasnt.....got it resolved now.....sadly the alignment guy, a friend who has a rack i had it up on, and myself all missed it...took it back to the guy who originally installed it and he was stumped, then we noticed that the sway bar (where it screws into your endlinks) were loose. tightened them up and have been clunk free since last thurs now just need to get my alignment figured out, alignment shop is saying my power steering rack is coming loose, im assuming he means its flexing but i have the daizen bushings on there also and they fairly new so i dunno. im gonna have to get under the car with him and have him show me BUT all noises are gone

thats what he says.....he is saying the steering rack is pulling out forcing the car out of alignment again. i dunno the truth yet.....i have no front clunk noise.....i do have sporadic one coming from the rear though
