Noise after SPL mid-link install and corner balance.
Here is the noise from passenger rear:

SPL mid-links+camber arms, eccentrics locked out, swift springs, ohlins shocks, bushings are stock with 95k. Took a few days-60 miles to get noisy after putting the mid links on and getting alignment/cb.
Retorqued everything yesterday, mid link heim seems to be misaligned (pic), and I just put the shock to knuckle bolt back there, it was switched with outer link bolt by mistake a while back, and it had some wear/grooving.

Recenter that lock so it can not touch, you will have some noise. They are solid! I get a little noise with mine , everything is centered but they do float since i also have to monoball spindle kit on mine.

I've had this issue with the eBay camber arms for the longest time. Centering the heim joint is only a temp fix, or at least it was for me (until the arms got replaced).

Took it for a drive on saturday and it was fine for around 40 miles. Then a small clunk and the original noise came back but somewhat quieter.
So now I'm looking at it and the midlink heim joint is still centered but it looks like the camber arm might have moved. Gonna call SPL later.

No, still disturbingly annoying. SPL couldnt help. I have centered all the heim joints, everything is torqued to spec, I switched the dampers. The springs are centered and nothing is binding. The carbon and steel thrust washers are installed correctly. The noise was gone for about 40 miles after re-centering. I THINK I hear it primarily from the passenger rear but I could be wrong. That side has quite a bit more preload, the dampers are not droop adjustable, perhaps lowered more than dampers manufacturer allows, damper to knuckle bushing is worn more than opposite. Too many things to address and no money or time these days.
Feels great, pushed it around a bit, very predictable and progressive. I may take it to track this month. I will bring OEM midlinks, etc in case something snaps.
