AWR Endlinks Finally Quiet

[Mike R]

Those are badass huh? I was actually going to just get some tie rod boots or something similar, just like you did. Though mine with the grease are fine.

All I did after 30K when mine started getting noisy was put some grease on 'em. I was looking at these as replacements http://mdmetric.com/rodend/homepag2.htm though mine are quiet now, so I don't care.

those look nice

I greased mine up about 2 weeks ago and they are starting to do it again now so I'm glad I found this... Thanks

Sta-lub synthetic caliper/brake parts grease. It's awesome, thick and doesn't wear off. I used it on the bushings and no squeaking ever after!

Teflon or nylon washers with lube will work better. These rubber gromets with wear down in no time flat if you drive hard.

You the man good idea. I wish I thought of it myself.

There really isn't much movement on the endlinks. Rubber with some grease will last awhile.

Just an FYI, I help a guy last weekend replace his struts and springs because those endlinks do not have enough travel (or turning radius). He hit a hard turn and the endlink pulled right out of the strute tearing the strut to hell. If you put these end links on and then us bushings it will decrease the turning radius even more.
So becarful. If you want talk to peepsalot. He's the guy that had those. We put the old ones back on.

The Tein and aftermarket struts have stronger tabls. I understand what you are saying... Good Point.

I changed the front setup on mine to AWR's miata spacers due to that problem. I have not had any problems with mine since. I spent alot of time setting them up and clocking the endlinks on the front to keep my problems to a minimum.

UPDATE. It's now winter and the Rubber lasted 15,000 Km. They need to be cleaned and tightened but the washers took all the rubbing. It's all good...

so how many miles is that? about 9000miles?
I was seriously thinking about replacing with rubber too but I didn't know how long they will last...

Great idea, thanks for sharing!

What size are the GROMET

 

[Brian MP5T]

I just pulled them out of a bin cause they looked like they would fit. Get them to cover the ball joint on the endlink.

Sweet, glad I found this post. Clicking and clunking is driving me crazy!

 

[Brian MP5T]

Clunk = Suck

he removed awr endlink the last time when he was cheacking for caliper.
rubber grommet is only solution?
