Appreciate the reply. Have you added anything to the toe rods recently or any of the rod ends on the suspension arms to lubricate them? I've heard of using various things. Just two days ago I I cleaned off the toe rod rod ends with brake cleaner and applied the Amsoil HD MP metal protector spray. The toe rods have quieted down immensely.

The main concern I've had with using the rod ends are the rear bar links have rod ends in them. I sprayed them with a WD-40 specialist spray a while ago, but they're kind of dirty now. The toe rods haven't gone through a winter yet but the sway bar end links have.

I'm planning to recoat everything and have everything working smooth within the next month.

Have you had the toll rods on for a while now?
