Noise after Upper Rear Track Arm Replacement

[RandallNeighbour]

Dragonfly, read this carefully:

RUN AWAY FROM DEUTSCHE PARTS ON EBAY.

Their stuff, especially their drop links, are total crap. I know this from repeated personal experience. Learn from my failures.

Buy factory parts unless you have $$$ to spend per corner for Tarrett Engineering fully adjustable ones.

Check with Sunset Imports in Oregon. They sell at 10% over their hard cost plus shipping. Sometime they are a LOT cheaper than anyone else.

RandallNeighbour,
Thanks for the warning. After I posted my comment I did some searching on DEUTSCHE and decided they were off my list. I read some of your comments as well as from owners of several different models of automobiles and they were all in agreement with your assessment. I shall see what Sunset comes up with. Thanks again.

You might also want to consider these as a better alternative to new factory drop links.

After reading this thread, I think my car needs drop link replaced.
has anyone looked into Powergrid.inc adjustable drop links?

After changing the drop links and the track control arms, # 9 on the drawing in a previous post, all is well. Just need to get a four wheel alignment. The ball joints on the track control arm were sloppy loose. Now I hear a couple of other rattles that will require some looking after. Thanks for the support.

Whoa! so THAT is what is making the rattling! I have just been living with it. Now I know what to replace, thank you gents!

Replaced all my end links, front and back. I am enjoying a much quieter ride these days. Though now I can hear that the tires are nearing the end of their life... fix one thing only to discover something else
