Adjustable strut rods making terrible sound 74 Swinger

Correct....and as usual. Par for the course around here that the most important info of all gets left out. That's why you've not seen me post on "help" threads near as much. It's gettin old.

Yup. I try to remind myself that people who need help often need it because even describing the problem well is a challenge without experience.

The only kind of noise I can imagine showing up with a strut rod change is due to the heim joints, but I could also see an installation error or loose fasteners or improper adjustment causing a problem too. I also wonder if other parts might have been changed at the same time?

At work, 99% of our customer service responses are "do you have photos of the parts in question?"

If OP doesn't see or find an obvious issue with the heims, then pictures would be the next step to help rule out other possibilities.
