DTE Diff/Trany Brace owners -->
For those who have the DTE Diff/Trany brace: Have you noticed any noises/rattling coming from it. I'm thinking about getting one when i get a new clutch and 4:10's installed, but don't want to add to the squeeks, creaks, and rattles i already have.

Only noise I noticed from mine was the sound of my 345's going up in smoke at the track after the install. Very good product.

Nope, mine fit great, uh well, with a little cohersion but there is no noise coming from it. Did you set the bars to zero lash?

I don't have one yet, but was asking about the noise because i have T1 bars & heim-jointed end-links and they squeek and rattle bad(even set at zero pre-load).....and figured that since the DTE brace uses Heim-Jointed end-links that they too would rattle. But doesn't look like that's the case.

it could be that I can't hear it over the GHLs/kooks headers with the H/C package...

........That's normally the case for me too, but at very slow speeds when things aren't quite so loud is when i can hear the other noises.

Component movement/articulation typically has to take place before a heim-joint will squeek. In suspension systems, there is movement everywhere and often in extreme variances.
Our product's strut rods do not move at all once it's installed, as there is no articulation of the stainless steel ball-socket joints once it's torqued down, laterally or transversly. If there was any movement, it would not be doing it's job correctly.
