Pure performance 8" questions
I am running the pure performance 8" coilover kit on the truck in my sig. Anyway, i started to get a little play in what i thought were the heim joints in the sway bar end links, and in the track bar. Started making a rattling noise. I ordered new heims for the sway bar links, and a heim and bushing for the track bar. Last night i tore into it to replace everything and found that the heims were just fine, but that the brackets for both the track bar and the sway bar have been ovaled out to the point of letting things move around, and make alot of noise. Is this normal for this kit? It only has about 17,000 miles on it. Is it something that would be covered under their "abuse proof lifetime guarantee"? I'm a little dissapointed right now.

I wouldn't call the lift junk. The components (control arms, track bar, etc.) are very stout pieces. Much, much beefier than stock. The only issue i am having is what is stated above, and i am looking for someone else who has had real world experience with this particular lift to see if they have seen the same.

I only have their track bar but 1 year and 9,000 miles and i've having issues with it to. From the day I installed the track bar it has been nothing but problems....and they are less then eager to help.

This is a common problem with many track bar drop brackets when the bolts are not torqued down. Even the slightest movement can allow the bolt to start moving back and forth thus eventually ovaling the hole out. There is ton's of force exerted against the track bar. That is why the factory one wear out so quickly as well.

I welded my track bar bracket, and I haven't had any other problems with the arms or track bar.

My end links have a little bit of slop, but there is no noise while driving and no noticed change in function.
