Yeah, have them look at them again, they weren't put on there bad, they wore out, so YOu should have them checked.

 

And as for you, what did you give them, your vehicle indentification number number, which one is that. j/k.. DON'T do it again.

 

socal where do you live bro..??

Im in LA...

TREs and control arms will both clunk, a visual inspection is the best way to go.

 

Yes. Both Tie Rod Ends and Control Arms wear will cause clunking when braking hard. If you need to replace your Tie Rod Ends without the freebie from the dealer please make sure you go for Meyle's new reengineered Tie Rod Ends. They have taken out the weakest link and replace it with a full metal setup ala BMW M3 style. They are $73.36 a set at my store with free shipping.

How long did it take you ? Did you need any special tools?

 

no, torque wrench ofcourse. the hardest part for me is getting the upper control arms in and out of their pinch housing thing. most have the devil bolt to deal with but i was lucky and didnt.

ooh and one side took me like 3hrs, but once i knew what i was doing i had the other side replaced in less than an hr.

 

Someone else brought this up so here's some clarifications.
