BMR trailing arm clicking??
Has anyone else running the bmr single adjustable trailing arms (TCA033) experienced light clicking when going on slight uneven surfaces. I changed to these and only with the windows up and under 30 mph can you here a clicking sound, so after being on here for a while I believed that my oem sway bar end links were bad being the car is just shy of 90k miles and raced a little bit. Come to today just finished changing them out rides better for sure but the clicking is still there, so now im a bit lost at if its the heim joint itself and its natural or if its truley something else im overlooking?

I am no expert, but I am going to say it is the Heim joints you are hearing. I have BMR suspension components on my vehicle, it’s their 15 inch conversion, and I notice a clicking/clank sound over slight bumps. I will hear the Heim joints make noise. I also have their extreme antiroll bar with Heim joints, so I hear it often at low speed. Especially on small bumps or entering a parking lot where the grade changes. Just part of the set up, not sure you can do much about it.

Heim joints are notoriously noisy, I threw some grease on them and I haven't really had any noise issues

I recall having a squeeking sound with Heim Joints, I contacted BMR and they sent me new Heim Joints. The squeeking went away. I switched to the poly version since the Heim joint version was a bit of overkill for me. Not sure about a clicking sound. My car seems to have a clicking noise, even with poly bushings all around in the rear. I believe mine may be an axle click, or brake pad chatter? Car drives and feels just fine though, so I just play the radio a little louder and hit the gas more frequently... Headers tend to drown out any minor noises haha!

Heim Joints are loud, and they get louder as they wear in.
Personally, I find it hard to enjoy a car on the street with Heim joints in the suspension.
