Just got my Stillen Adjustable Tension rods...........

[redmanfx]

.........and I want to know how easy they are to install and if there is any special maint. that should be done on nickle plated adj tension rods? I know a few of you have these so I wanted to get a quick idea of what I need to install and if anyone has had any problems with them.

edit: please move to Q45 forum,.. sorry.

After thinking about this, I may not install these. Who has tried the Stillens? I hear the bushings sqeaks and folks have removed them. So please, someone speak up if they've had a bad experience with the Stillen adjustable tension rods. I don't want second hand knowledge, I would like a first hand account......

I thought james had a Stillen FUCA break?They squeak no doubt, but I have to have the windows down and the radio off to hear them (usually).

OH YES, i completely spaced that... Redman, disregard my comments, i thought you were talking about the upper links, not the tension rods...

The tension rods are gonna be fine.....
