I do, they suck. Failed about a year later, now every bump I hit I hear rattling, knocking,pops. It sounds like something is loose in my car, when noithing is. I run them front+rear.


Take a look at OEM integra endlinks, OR, F7/ASR endlinks.

I think the function7 endlinks are ~$50, the ASR ~$70

Neither ware that much more expensive than the blox endlinks.

I used to rock the ASR's....squeeky lil things, probably pretty standard for adjustable end links if I had to guess. Damn near drove me crazy.

PS- In the future just give responses a lil time buddy, no need to re-post.

Return them.

And white lithium grease does wonders for squeaky suspension components.

By the way, Liquid Wrench brand has a spray white lithium grease that works very well. Good stuff, albeit a little expensive.

The reason why the endlinks are going to be a little noisy is the spherical bearing.

Give them a squirt of wd40 1-2 a month. And do NOT lube them.


if you can't return the endlinks, just run them. Try to keep them clean.
Something to remember, these endlinks will not last nearly as long as OEM. I wouldn't expect to get much more then a few years out of them. Even F7/ASR, it's just how they are, sphericals don't last.

After buying my DB I purchased endlinks from rockauto since I was already in the process of redoing the whole suspension. It was a shot in the dark but they're working great thus far and the bushings seem to be holding up well. I've only got about 7-10k tops on them though.

BECK/ARNLEY Part # 1015155 (part number for GSR endlink) They were $11.46 each.


Nothing wrong w/anything mentioned above of course, this is just the route I chose to take.

Also. I can't seem to find a good "installed" pic of the endlinks. Mainly curious as to where the "spacers" go.

Yea I imagined that's how it went but one pair of bolts came with a thicker washer on one end as opposed from the other washers.

I know my description very vague. Thanks.

Right, they do, as did mine.

Use the bigger washer to try to make the endlinks as straight as possible, sorry I should have remember that. lol
