Just in case you want to see our state of the art equipment in use from another C5 member:

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...ss+motorsports

This is the ONLY way coil overs should be installed; pro-installers, laser accurate alignments, and corner scaling! We get calls all the time from suspension manufacturers who ask us to correct installations on cars that do not respond like they should due to incorrect balance. We can set up simple street cars to our international award winning race cars!

We're running an installation promotion so shoot me an email or PM

Thanks for all the input and I'm still looking for a shop to take it. I was out of town, but I'm back and I'm hoping to have it done at least before the fest.

so as many of you know Ive been dealing with this issue with my camaro squeaking and the place where i got it installed keeps giving me the run around and blaming eibach for giving me "bad sway bars", well yesterday as my oil change was being done I asked the guy to lube up the bushings on the sway bars, well come to find out the squeaking has been coming from an endlink that is rubbing on the spring in the rear driverside !!! thanks a lot adkins !! last time I go to you guys thats for damn sure, well anyway i need a shop in LA /OC area that can give me a killer deal on some hotchkis endlinks FRONT AND BACK since im replacing the rear endlinks might as well replace front ones too, I want the total price including install, please post or pm me.

here are the pics so you can all see what kind of "intelligent" people i had work on my car that cant even tighten screws on sway bars

some people just need to get a different day job

cterry · 05-23-2011, 03:19 PM

Where is the nut that goes on that end link? Did it fall off and they did not notice it? the other one looks like its going to fall off. This is where I had my issues, till I used an Allen to hold the bolt while I tightened it.
I can help you fix that if you get the nut. Easy to do and only takes a minute. Let me know Leo.

Would love to just throw another bolt on there but the thread is so jacked up on the endlink it definately needs to be replaced :( so instead of buying another oem cheap endlink i want to go with hotchkis

did you install the front and back endlinks yourself ? if so how difficult was it ?

cterry · 05-23-2011, 04:41 PM

Leo, just PM'd you before I saw this. I did the suspension myself and not that hard.
End rods shouldn't be hard to do.
Looks like the threads on the one are rusty, so may just need some w-d 40 to get it started, but if threads are all jacked up from being loose, your screwed.
I may need to check into those end links sometime, but haven't had any issues since i got them tight.

Hess Motorsports · 05-23-2011, 07:10 PM

It looks like we're gonna dial Leo in later this week. Until then we're gonna help out and get the current end links as tight as we can get them with the damaged threads. Hell we have enough stock end links around here that we might just swap a temp set until the new set arrives.

Leo, you need end links? I still have my stock ones. I bought the Spohn ones.

Yes brotha just the rear ones until I get my aftermarket endlinks, because right now I am driving around with one side of sway bar with no bolt :( not very safe , by the way are the SS endlinks the same as the V6 ?

Damn I only have the front ones. Rears are trashed. I'm sure there the same as SS.

So that was the problem we talked about. Now it all makes sense!
