Adjustable strut rods making terrible sound 74 Swinger

This thread isn't about your radius rods or a sprint car, it's about adjustable strut rods on a Mopar. I frankly don't care what your sprint car does, it's not relevant.

After 70k miles of street use the strut rods on my Challenger still don't make any noise. Over 30k miles on my Duster, no noise at all from the strut rods. And it's not because I'm deaf, I hear the spring sliders on the rear of my Duster clicking occasionally. And I could hear the heims on the UCA's of my Challenger clicking when they wore out.

The adjustable strut rods on these cars shouldn't make any noise. If they are, the heims are worn out and need replaced.

Are you sure it's the strut rods? If you have installed poly LCA bushings you may need to lubricate them better. What did you install with the suspension rebuild?

You can't stand when ever anyone suggests something to look at that you don't think of. Especially me?

Heims loosen pretty quick from suspension shock no matter where they are used. And they rattle. When used, They should always be contained between metal or use a washer to stop them from coming apart. There are also tapered bushings for applications where side travel is needed.

Been using heims on many projects and cars not only sprint cars. Ask anyone with Caltracs about the noise they hear. Because they rattle doesn't mean they are bad. It is the nature of the beast. Some have grease fittings and some do not. There are many different quality heims. You Richard Cranium must have the best as always. Grow the **** up already. You and your multiple " fucken Quotes "
