poltec endlinks making lots of noise, normal?

StealthWagon · 03-03-2005, 07:30 PM

I've had poltec front and rear endlinks on my STI for about 1 year. They have become very noisy, i was wondering if anyone else had this problem? Should I replace them or deal with it?
The noise was there before my coilovers and the same after the install.

My setup is: Cusco f/r swaybars, zeal V6 coilovers (stock struts and pinks before)

Have you tried regreasing the bearings?

Mine did the same thing after awhile - the pillowballs loosened up. I've had better luck with the Hotchkis H/D endlinks which are a cast-housing with a full balljoint similar to in your front suspension. They've proven to be more durable AND they have a grease port built into the back of them to keep them greased, but I've never greased them and have had no issues.

Looking at the Hotchkis website, I don't see them there so i don't know if they still make them, but this is what they look like:

I assume that you checked all the bolts and made sure that they are tight, if so, send us some pictures so that we can confirm that they were installed properly and we will work with you to get you replacement parts.

Thank you
