endlinks question.

[BlacknBlueCoupe]

i'm purchasing the endlinks. i read before about how the endlinks broke in half while driving and it was advised that to use locktite?? where can i get that at?? any one know? thanks

[Mr.Coupe]

You can find locktite at an auto parts store. If not there check a home improvement store.

what is it though? i dont even know what it look like??

[Ricko]

Just ask. It will be next to other glues. Little red or blue tube. Red is stronger then blue but the only way to break a red bond is to heat it up. I would use blue.

It's important also to make sure that you clamp the nuts down onto the barrel of the end link. The barrel actually has two machined areas where a wrench will fit to hold it in place while you tighten the nuts. I didn't use locktite, and mine were still really tight after about 10 months when I went to install the RSB this week.

so let me get this straight...locktite is the superglue..right? and where on the endlinks do you put the locktite?? sorry..i'm a bit confuse of this and i've just got my endlinks today ready to be install. Thanks

The endlinks never had an issue with snapping, the issue was some people were not tightening the nuts down properly and they were backing out, causing the bushings to fall off.

Loc-Tite is included in the packaging for good measure but not needed if the nuts are tightened properly. When installing the nuts, put on the first flanged nut good and tight so that roughly 1/2~5/8 of thread is showing. Next install the second nut so that it is tight to the first nut. Then using 2 wrenches loosen the first nut while tightening the second.

This motion of butting the nuts together will create a near permanent bond that will never back out and is exponentially stronger than a standard lock-nut.

The loc-tight is used on the bolts only.

Shoot me an email if you have any other questions

I've gotten a squeaking sound when i go over speed bumps since i've installed installed the RL RSB. is that normal or should i apply lube more??

[Racingline]

Probably needs more lube. Use the whole package on one install ( 1/2 per bushing on the insides)

[duffman8189]

Awesome! I'm going to try that when I get around to finally installing my front. Will any lube be fine to use? I don't think I have much left of the one that was provided by you guys
