I assume its best to get the whiteline ones again from their website? I looked them up last night and were under $100 for the pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just wondering if the linkages are whiteline or not, I assume they are since they are black, not sure how to tell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one's that came loose for me on the front linkages were the top nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falky100 Donating Members 305 Member For: 13y 3m 1d Gender: Male Posted 19/11/12 07:32 AM Author Share Posted 19/11/12 07:32 AM Well crawled under the car this arvo and removed the drivers side linkage, took the car for a drive, noise dissapeared (bolts were tight). Came home, bolted it back on. Thought to myself may aswell check the other side, found that the lower nut was not very tight! The thread also looked worn. So tightened that up and noise has dissapeared altogether with both linkages on.Can someone explain to me why the noise was coming from the drivers side, yet it was the passanger side that was lose.
