The issue was you were willing to take a monetary hit and throw away the best LCAs on the market because you didn't get an e-mail response. I don't understand your thought process on that. Please, enlighten me ...

E-mail isn't the ONLY method available. You could have sent Lou a post card quicker than this. Surely the pony express picks up mail in Oklahoma ...

My LG aluminum LCA's have about 12-13K miles, and a lot of autox time on them, and are quiet. Check the fitment between the bushing and the bolt, I bet that is what is making noise and not the rod end.

What should I be looking for? The bolts are tight, etc.

I was asking about Heim joints b/c the noise started really from no where. The LCAs haven't been removed since I had the car. I'm gonna take them off and look at them this weekend and go from there.

Because I knew the answer that I was going to get before I even asked, and frankly, it wasnt worth a =long distance= phone call for me to have Lou whisper is so, so, sweetly in my little ear. But, nonetheless, I did want to hear it, and I did not. The way I honest-to-god look at it, is simply this (and Im not gonna hash it out anymore, because its my party and Ill cry if I want to):

If they had enough time to check out my order on their little intar-web-o-matic-machines and bill my credit card, they should also have the time to click-y the email button on the start menu and read my complaint. If they dont really have any time to answer emails, just kill the link to their addy on their website, and replace it with "Please call us, we are here to help!"

Howboutyadont, ladies and gentlemen, scotty dont.

Well, all-righty then.

I learned a long time ago that in ANY type relationship, it's important to pick your battles.

We each have our own drummer we march to. I respect that. Doesn't mean I understand it or agree with it, but you gotta respect it.
