Arrrgghhh! This JBA bolt on 4-Link is driving me bananas. As you might guess from the title, I couldn't hear Shania's lyrics over the sounds from my 4-Link. Anyone else experiencing this? I would give up the flex and put in links with rubber bushings to preserve my sanity if they were available.

Going to that style of setup and joints will be noisy,not a daily driver friendly setup with heim joints.

Depending on thread size you could possibly swap out those heims with Johnny Joints that have poly bushings inside them.I use JJ on both my track bars and zero play or noise in almost 10 years and 31,000+ miles.

Thanks. I'll look into it.

It make any noticeable noise at cruising speeds? I planned on getting one, but maybe I should just get an extension. Then again, let me know if you want to sell it :D

It makes no noise as long as the suspension is not moving, but yes, it makes plenty of noise if there is any flex for road conditions. If I sold it, I would have to replace it, and I really don't want to go back to OE, so that would mean the IRO WJ triangle. I can't figure why they never made the bracket for the KJ rear axle, so if I went that route, I would have to track down someone to make that bracket. I'll call JBA, and look into TJKJ's suggestion of johnny joints.

Sounds good. Thanks for the report!
