Clickity...HELPP...Clank=End links?
Car in question is an 03 Z with 15k miles.
Hope some one would be able to tell me if there is a correct proceedure in tightening down the end links.
Does it matter if when installing/tightening down the end links, if there is weight on the system or not ... As can the wheels be off & system hanging, or does weight/pressure need to be applied to the system in order to do the tightening?
My GM manual shows the system w/out wheel/tires on, but I was wondering if that was just to be able to see all the components.
The manual does not state one way or the other.
Also is there a particular way of seeing or testing these end links while off the car?
The noise is not coming from loose/bad shocks,leafs,c/overs.
TIA for any info.

After I reinstall the end links, Ill try that.
If can reproduce the sound by doing that, I'll kiss the "little womans"
a-- and have her come out to the garage and pin point the sound for me.
I'm deaf in my right ear, so it's rather hard for me to isolate, while driving.
Of cours the headers and bullets dont help.
Thanks
