Heavy Duty Rear Sway Bar Links

has anyone noticed squeaking since installing these links? I am getting a significant squeak that I had attributed to my Total Chaos UCA's, but this afternoon I completely removed them, cleaned and lubed the uniballs with brake cleaner and dry graphite, and re-greased the bushings. All this produced silent UCA's, but it's now obvious that the squeak is coming from the back end. I suspect that it's either my bilstein 5160's, or the sway bar links.

Not to be a captain obvious here, but couldn't you just disconnect the end links and see if the squeaking stops :hiding:

I was thinking a shot of lube as a first step, just checking for similar experiences

I highly recommend these!

This was one of the things I overlooked when upgrading my suspension last year, and knew it should have been done sooner. After our October trip to Utah, I came back with a broken link, and figured I better start researching what's available.

My needs:
  • It needed to maximize my current equipment without removing.
  • It needed to be strong.
  • It needed to be long enough and/or adjustable for my extended-travel rear set-up.
  • It needed to be easy to install.
  • The price had to be right.

After researching what's available, these ended up at the top of my list. On top of that, Chris not only was very prompt and helpful in his communication, but he ironically had the same rear suspension combo I have. Needless to say, he set the adjustment for me, so all i had to do was bolt them in...easy.

On-road: I didn't know if I would notice a difference...you do...a solid difference. More than you'd think. I had it out on mountain roads today, and for a lifted truck, it handles very sporty.

Off-road: Full report is pending, but I stretched things out today, and couldn't get the rear tire off the ground. To me, it seems as though I have a lot more articulation with these links, and they allow my pricey suspension to work as it's intended.

Bottom line...I'm very impressed, and got more than I thought. If you are trying to accommodate my same goals, I feel that you don't need to look any further.

These are great!

Hi Glenn,
I am out of town for work until 5/25 but can make you a set as soon as I return, if that is ok. If so, I can PM you details.
Thanks!
 
I may be interested as well....please let me know if these are available. Thank you!
