Maybe being dropped is the contributing factor to premature failure. My ride height is stock. I don't recall there being any load on the end links when installing the bars. I'll revisit this thread in a year if something changes

My mods are purely for functional purposes. Roads in chicago are way too messed up to even considering dropping. I already have to slow down to nearly a crawl at most railroad crossings.

Word to the wise, if it's not broke, don't fix it.

 

add this along with your search "site:the370z.com" ex "end link opinions site:the370z.com"

 

I've been seeing that opinion for years now. For a while I was even repeating it, based on hearsay from the forums.

IDK, Jsolo. Could be.

 

Thanks for that. I tried googling how to do that 'til I was blue in the face. I couldn't launch advanced search dialog box either.

 

I'm almost at 9 months on the Whitelines with no issue.

+1 on the clicking if you don't take the preload off. I am lowered a bit...hence the adjustable.

The OEM MOOGs were always 'engaged' since I couldn't adjust them.

I had SPL all around and went to oem/Moog. The heim joint seems to fail and rattle around.

 

Wow, an SPL part failing?

 

A heim joint made out of unobtanium and tempered in the finest virgin's tears will still wear out given the right conditions. Heim joints are a wear item, and should be treated as such.

SPL's stuff are pure race car parts. Of course people run them on the street - because they can. I have. I had a set of their front tension rods for my 240sx years ago. They made every other 240sx suspension piece I had ever seen look like a toy.

But I think people make a mistake in assuming that just because the SPL part costs a lot, they will last forever. They cost a lot because they are rebuildable, adjustable, perform very well, and are manufactured in the US.
