Dakar silencers

So during install I managed to break one of the silencers on my leaf pack.

Anyone know where to buy another one? Do they come greased? These things are squeaking like an old house in the wet weather..

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road Marie can you help here?

 

ARB has sent those out for free in the past. I’d start there. That’s a manufacturer issue.

 

Marie recommended I talk to OME warranty claims. Just putting out the feelers for another place in case they don't honor it or whatever

 

To be fair I broke it. But I'll give then a call.

 

As others have said, contact ARB directly. They've sent me Dakar clip liners in the past, no charge.

 

I meant if a vendor gives you them, they’re paying for it from ARB.

ARB will give them to you for free, regardless, and it isn’t being paid for through a middle man vendor.

They’ll take care of you.

 

I don't know, man, those things must cost them like 5 cents each to manufacture. but i bet they are recouping that and more from their BP51 crap

 

I would reach out to ARB to see if they would mind sending you one either for a small fee or for free. As of right now we don't have replacement pads on hand so they would be the best resource. Do you think all of the squeaking is coming from that one spot or could there be other areas that have contact?

 

I was wondering this myself. They need to pressure washed from all the mud I accumulated hunting, so that could be relevant.

 

The problem is that the liners take care of the middle and the pads take care of the outside but the leafs can still contact each other throughout so it could still squeak. To me the best way to help mitigate squeaking would be to have a full length liner.

 

Dude, ARB is good to go.
They sent me a whole new leaf spring once, for what was basically a cosmetic defect; didn't even want the old one back.

 

Silencers? What are those? Dakars are noisy as fuck

 

Knock yourselves out...
