Just seeing if anyone has installed one? I did and I am hearing it cling in the back. I measured it up using the stock one and sliding the bolts through. Put some lock thread on it and torqued it down to 125 ft-lb. i Just need to see how you have it installed. Which side should the Johnny joint go on. It is bent for the rear axle clearance. I hear it when I'm pressing the gas pedal quickly..like a jolting motion and body roll from right to left. One side has the Johnny joint and the other side is regular . Thanks for your help.
 
There a hyme join rather tha na rubber bushing correct? there gonna make noise.
 
Yes Johnny joints. No rubber. Okay, just wondering. First time with these. Thanks for the information!
 
If torqued properly, with the right hardware, and you greased the joints you shouldn't hear any noises for some time.
Thanks Rebel, when you say the right hardware, do you mean the grade 8 stuff you can buy extra? When I spoke to spence, he said to torque about 120? I really think it's coming from the track bar, but I'm afraid I have it on the wrong way. If that's possible. Also I do have them greased up. I even went in and tighten up the bar. I think the stop nut near the Johnny joint is hitting the bracket. I'll have to send pictures of what I'm talking about

Just hardware that fills up the hole in the joint. If the hardware is smaller diameter you can hear the joint shift.
 
Ah gotcha lol. Yeah, I spoke to spence at Core 4x4 and there is a certain way to install it if there is a bend in the bar. So this weekend I'm going to take a look and get the upper control arms done. Thanks for the info!

Post up a pic once you have it all wrapped up if you don't mind.
