I know we all have tried lots of stuff and there is a lot of good stuff out there. Over time opinions change after trying things. I am pretty much a BMR ONLY......knowing I am getting R&D and good stuff and Kelly to talk to if needed. I like that. Only a few other susp. companies I would buy.

So, why I ask? Well whiteline is one of few companies I know who makes a adjustable LCA that utilizes a bushing on each end. All others are rod-ends or rod on one end ,and poly/delrin on the other. I could use just a little adjustment at the LCA's and do not want solid type ends on my DD. So yeah I have thought about buying them but I have not been a big fan of Whiteline stuff. Hoping or maybe somebody can tell me the heads up on WL.

I've run Whiteline LCAs and their relocation brackets for over a year and 10K miles or so with no issues at all. When installed correctly with the grease they provide, there is no noticeable increase in NVH over stock.

My only suggestion is to use a little blue Loctite on the threads of the jam nuts to keep the LCAs from coming out of adjustment, but you should do that on any brand of adjustable LCAs you use.

You guys are building me up to maybe pull the trigger. I'm gonna try one other thing with what I have, to see if it puts all my settings where I want them first. To lazy today. Just ready to watch the SB and veg....lol

I tested about a hour ago up to about 110 mph and still no vibration so I think it's very close. Ordered a tool from one of my vendors that should be here Tuesday that will give me more piece of mine. I think I will custom design a bolt that holds my Axle Catch can "after the bolt is tight to UCM" that will bolt the CC secondarily to that. Another words totally independent tightening points of contact on same bolt. Not sure, but I think mounting these Axle CC's create a vulnerable situation for another clunk. I had zero before. I do know moving my LCA's up and down in the relocation brackets without re-greasing is most likely a sure source for a clunk.

So I will brush the "CHE" LCA's with the grease first. BTW I do like a lot of "CHE" stuff, but they do not make the adjustable LCA's with both ends utilizing bushings either. WL is the only one I know that does for sure. Seems like more would at least offer that option.

Several small things going on susp. wise and speaking off topic some. All really minor BS..... Thanks for the feedback Skyrender and Beefcake.

WHy dont you want a rod end on the axle side? I have them on my car and while i dont DD it anymore I ran those things for 3+ years and noticed a slight (and I mean slight) increase when the backseats were laid down. With your exhaust id highly doubt youd hear a thing. I cant anymore with how loud my car is
