Energy Supsension Universal Pivot Style End Links

Anyone tried THESE for rear sway bar end links? Zspeed offers them as an upgrade over stock endlink.

I was looking at that brand, then I ended up buying Moog.

edit: Actually, I lied. I've got SPL adjustable in the rear. Putting Moog in the front.

Installed a set of these yesterday. They look like nice links. We'll see how they hold up. Put them on a Hotchskin bar at softest setting.

4 months and no issues with these end links. Car isn't a DD, just weekend use, no track time.

These links are making a good bit of noise when going over speed bumps and pulling in\out of the driveway. Even my wife made a comment about it. I thought it was my sway bar bushings, but I pulled the bushing off today, cleaned everything up and applied fresh grease. With the bushing removed, it was very obvious that the noise was coming from the endlinks, not the bushings. They creak like a rusty spring every time the sway bar moves. The noise appears to be coming from the upper joint. I'm pretty sure the joint is sealed, so there isn't anything I can do about it other than replace. They don't have slop in them, just noisy. So, I left them on for now and will look into replacing with SPL links. Are SPL links known to have any noise issues?

I replaced these links with SPL links this weekend. After doing proper research, I think I was mostly at fault for the Energy Suspension links making noise. When I installed them, I set the length to match the stock links. Problem is, I am lowered about 3/4". Setting them at stock length put preload on the sway bar and probably caused my problems. I don't know if setting them to the correct length would correct that now, but I have new SPL links, so I replaced them. With no preload, the SPL links are about 1/2-5/8" longer than oem links due to the lower suspension. I set the link length with no pre-load on the sway bar with the weight of the car on the suspension. Replacing the links seems to have removed the squeaking, but I only backed in and out of the driveway 4-5 times to check it. Thought I'd update the post since my issues were improper install, not the product. They didn't break, just were noisy.

Silly Rabbit, did new links fix the noise? I've been chasing the speed bump/driveway squeak after installing hotchkis and stock end links. I've tried everything ok the bushings even yellow teflon tape. Next is endlinks but they aren't cheap.
