Stance Coilovers & Endlinks

I saw a few things posted on the forum about the Stance Coils and possible endlink issues but haven't really found a permanent solution. Did you have anyone have issues with the endlinks that were included with the coilovers? I installed mine awhile back and ever since the install, the endlinks made noise. Checked them out one day and saw that it was because it wasn't tight enough so a friend and I put in some spacers and tightened it which solved the problem for maybe a week and the noise started to come back. Does anyone else have this issue too? Know any solutions? Thanks.

TL;DR Endlinks that were included with Stance coilovers makes noise. Any solutions?

The endlinks that come with the stance coils are not very good. I was having clunking issues no matter how tight I made them so I ended up cutting and re-welding the stock endlinks and it solved the problem. You could go with an adjustable aftermarket endlink such as Whiteline and that would fix the noise issue as well.

In you other post you said you heard that the whiteline ones rub against the control arm as well?

Yeah I saw that but IIRC their is a certain whiteline endlink that is a smaller length and wont rub. I do not remember the part number for this though but maybe someone will see this and post it.

Stance Coilovers & Endlinks

So I took my endlinks off. Is it normal to have only 2 washers for the 4 bolts that need to be tightened? Weird. Though it would come with 4 washers and not 2.

Anyways, I took them off, and re-adjusted the length of the endlinks to about 1cm on each side, so far little to no knocking sounds at all. It was knocking on one side but that was because I adjusted that side a little lower. I'll readjust next time it goes up on the hoist . Hope this helps.
