Mine doesn't make any noise. Just make sure all the joints are tight. No loose ends.

Thanks!

If the jam nuts aren't tight, they'll make a lot of noise, also the LCA mount bolts!

No you don't, yes you can.
I've never had to adjust the length on any of the rear LCAs I've had on my car, even when I installed my BMR bolt on relocation brackets.
IMO, You should get a adj.PHB if you lower your car.

Yes, get one.
IMO get one with rod-ends, on both ends
I've never had any noise problems with rod-ends on both ends of the PHB, unlike with LCAs.

There will be no noise from this one. The rod ends are what make the noise this one has polyurethane bushings.

Actually this one would be better because you can adjust it on the car.
