Whiteline rear end links coming loose? What about front end links?

Was reading these two threads:

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-swaybars.html

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...nk-issues.html

So I'm guessing this is still an issue?
Is it just the rear end links or do front AND rear end links have the same issue?

Has anyone tried other brands? What were your experiences?

I'm leaning towards the Whiteline or Hotchkis sway bar set and Whiteline front end links, because not too many companies make front end links (correct me if I'm wrong), but want to see if I have to get different brand rear end links (i.e. Hotchkis, Racing Line, Timmyspec, etc.)

Any feedback appreciated.

I have the whiteline rsb and end links, quality is very good. I will be installing it as soon as I have time, I am going to use blue locktite on the links just to make sure.

Btw the bar is fat and heavy, probably 10 lbs or more I guess.

Came across your thread by accident as I have an a 9

I was having a knocking sound up front & finally removed the tires to find my WL endlink loose at the sway bar mount. Tightened it up & the knocking cured. Didnt think much of it until I read the link.

I will have to recheck the mount when I get a chance. Just thought it was a loose nut that never really got torqued right by my suspension tuner

I've been doing some research and found that the Racing Line end links tend to rub against the sway bar (Cobb) bolt and in turn it takes chunks out of it.

But they are the only ones that people report have the least amount of noise problems.

I am pretty set on Hotchkis sway bars front and rear but I don't know which end links to get.

I'm deciding between Racing Line front endlinks and Hotchkis rear endlinks but I've read that they are noisy. Or Racing Line front and rear endlinks and make sure they don't rub against the nut or bolt.

Any input anyone?
