I installed BMR suspension on my vehicle and I noticed when going over some slight imperfections that a rattling noise occurs. I have chased it down to the BMR endlinks. I called BMR and was told there are some problems with some of the endlinks material they received from their material vendors and that if I have the copper looking endlinks that they have fixed the problem and will ship out new endlink ends to me. I was told that I would need to mail back the ones I take off to them.

Just thought I would pass along just incase anyone else is having a problem with them as well.

OH DAM!

This is my noise issue than. I have been wracking my mind over it. I just did a stage 3 kit this weekend.

Well I will call them in the morning.

They will ask you what color the endlink ends are (The part that you can screw on and off on each end) and if they are a copper color then they should mail you out new ones...

Good Luck!!

Exactly when did they stop shipping out the bad ones!! I bought mine about a month ago and they are at the installer's shop waiting to go on next month. BMR guy...It would be nice to hear some more info regarding this.

robsls3 · 03-13-2011, 09:30 PM

Mine look like the picture all silver.

Dam back to looking for my noise issue than.

Not sure of an exact date. I bought mine right before Christmas last year. I can't wait to get mine this week and hopefully this will resolve my noise.

Dang.. If you have the new ones then we may still have a noise with them.. If I still had my OEM ones then I would install them to see if the noise goes away. That would be a simple diagnostic.

keep us posted on what you find out.

robsls3 · 03-13-2011, 09:41 PM

I still have my OEM I will install those tomarrow and post up. I will also contact BMR.

ssmike · 03-13-2011, 10:19 PM

What kind of noise happens? I have the silver ones and so far so good but I've only been out a couple times with the car for short runs.

robsls3 · 03-13-2011, 10:54 PM

Yep that's the sound I get.

Are yall sure they are tight enough? I've seen threads on pretty much everyones endlinks that made noise and all seem to come from the fact that they weren't tight enough. Once they were sufficiently tight, the noise went away. I'm not saying that there aren't bad batches, just that it's good place to start instead of thinking they are bad.

Blue loctite is also a MUST for suspension bolts.

I am positive and BMR said themselves that they received bad batches and ask me what color was put on my vehicle. And you are correct... Blue loctite is a necessity with suspension stuff.

robsls3 · 03-14-2011, 10:40 AM

I got on the phone with BMR they are looking into my issue.
