Default spohn LCA

I just had the Spohn adjustable LCA and they are making noise after only one week, both end poly. How often do you have to grease these?

I had the poly/poly LCAs from Spohn made from Chrome/Moly. They are very light, very strong, and they control wheel hop great.

However, there is no way to keep them from making those noises (squeaks, squawks, whatever you want to call them).

I replaced them with GT500 LCAs. Result: no noise and no wheelhop.

But my engine is unmodified. The Spohn would probably be better than the GT500 LCAs for high horsepower applications, but that is not me.

This is interesting thread because I heard spohn was one of the better brands for lcas.

I Dont think what anyone does to them will keep any of them from creeking or making noise. If you want a little better then stock. I would do the gt500 LCA.

I also have the spohn, and I like them.

I have the Spohn and yes they squeak but everything else on the car makes noise so it doesn't matter to me

I sure wish people would of said something in other posts before i purchase these. Most every other post praise the LCA and say they are needed. the only reason i purchase these was to adjust the pinion angle. if greasing them does fix it I may go back to stock or gt500 and say s%$#w the pinion angle.

www.mossmustang.com
$139.95 WITH the Ford one-time-use hardware.
Its a steal at that price WITH the hardware.
