Eibach/5100 or OME/5100 or Full OME - someone push me over the edge

Thanks!

 

Just took the sway bar out and it feels good but like I'm doing something bad. Anyway that has confirmed that the noise I am hearing is from the end link on the drivers side. I'm going to sway both sides and put it back in with the relocation bracket once I get the parts. Lesson learned here is just do it all right from the start. Even if you are lifting just a little bit as I thought I was you should change the UCA's I'm convinced that the ball joint went because of the stress of the new angles and that the sway bar end link went after the ball joint went because of additional stress on it.

 

Anyone else encounter balljoint failures with OME 884s and Nitros?

thanks

 

i have OME springs on billy's and am pretty pleased. have beat on them pretty good for the past couple of years with a heavy plate bumper and no problems

 

I'm on my second upper ball joint replacement on the drivers side. Started with the OE upper control arm so I replaced them with Light Racing. Two years later the same ball joint is broken. I just swapped the SPC ball joint for a greaseable SPC ball joint and am going to swap the passenger side now too. We'll see how long this lasts but I'm hoping that being able to grease it will make the difference.

 

How is it all holding up at this point in time?

 

Sold the 06, but haven't heard of any issues from new owner (previous neighbor).
Now running 883s on an 05
