Are you on coilovers or just Eibach springs? I know for most lowered cars, endlinks and tie rod ends can go bad prematurely. Luckily, these pieces are pretty inexpensive if they do need to be replaced.

I have the same thing. I'm hoping it goes away after i get an alignment and tighten my RL endlinks up. I was kind of going off the seat of my pants when i did the endlink install.

I have Eibachs and the RL endlinks front and rear. One thing I did notice about the RL links is that they took at least a few weeks to settle in. After a month, didn't hear any creaking or groaning from the front axle when i turned lock to lock. Also, make 100% sure that each axle has the same endlink length before you torque everything down. This step alone took me too hours

It's been at least 6 months since i did all of my suspension work so i should be far beyond the settle stage. Actually strangely it started a couple weeks after the install before i heard the "creaking?" noise at full turn. Most likely as you said it's either a length issue or i didn't tighten one of them down enough. I'm hoping they'll just do it for me when i get it aligned. Been too busy to change my own oil lately let alone do any other work to the car.

I just recieved my MOOG rear end links... Is the instal pretty much like rsb? The tires in the air, change them out, tighten to 37 lbs (as per the instructions), and done. Am I missing anything? any input and tips would really help. thanks

Yes. Exactly. Where you disconnected the endlink to install the RSB, there is an identical connection at the top of the endlink you need to remove. Then re-install. To reach the top connection, you'll probably need to remove the wheels. Pretty easy though. Not sure if you ran into this, but you need to have a second wrench on hand to keep the ball from turning as well. The moog nuts are different sizes than OEM, I they are 14mm.

I just installed my racingline RSB yesterday and replaced the stock endlinks with MOOG while I was in there. I'm glad I did. The stock endlinks werent looking so good only after 24,000 miles.
