Default SPL Front End link Problem

Hey guys,

So after having my SPL end links on with my Eibach sway bar they've started to make a lot of clunking noise on uneven ground and when turning. I researched a lot of threads, but didn't find anything really to help. I've completed 9 autocross runs on these end links. When I first installed them/adjusted them they were silent no noise. As of last night they began making noise, loud at times.

So today I re-torqued the lower shock bolt to 120 ft/lbs like the manual calls for, and 62 ft/lbs on the connection from end link to sway bar on both sides. I then torqued the top hat 22 ft/lbs and the nut on the top of the shock 44 ft/lbs. All are at spec still noise is heard.

When I first got the end links I noticed that the ball joint was really stiff and kind of hard to move. I think it may have more play now and that's why it's making more noise. Any others have any issues like this?

Thanks for the help.
