I installed the KYB struts and shocks with a set of lowering springs so the quick strut product did not apply !

I have two 11.8 inch links in my 2011 2LT , Delphi TC 5530. They also are available in 9.86 inch TC 6379.
So long as both sides are the same length they don’t contact the LCA’s
the Moogs with the grease fittings K750012 we’re giving me clunking problems after just 15,000 miles.

I think maybe the because the SS uses different sway bar and different springs that set the ride height lower. There may have been more than two different sway bars.

Measure what you have and get that.

Three rides in after a 2 day set & settle and I can say KYB all the way around is like night and day!
Cornering, hills, speed bumps, and higher speeds, hands down the best ride I’ve had.
After a good lookover, the LCA bushings are still in great shape after 2 years, the swaybar bushings looking good, and the new links made all the difference.
The speed sensor hub replacements stopped the Low Traction and ESC dash lights from activating.
All of that replaced, and there is STILL a clunk only up front at low speeds (under 35mph) when going over rough road.

Does anyone have any ideas beyond all what’s been replaced?

Possibly ball joints

i assume you changed the front sway bar links when you say links. After measuring mine to see if they are the shorter or longer ones, I was looking up choices and on a review someone mentioned after changing out their links, their clunk went away.

I’m thinking this coming week, I’m going to have a talk with a friend who is a mechanic that could check all of them to see how the rubber looks on them all and see if there’s possibly any wear and have him check the LCA ball joint as well. Thank you!

yes and after OldBlue mentioned his newest ones clunking, I got the Delphi ones mentioned ordered, and I’m going to remove and return the Moog ones to see how that ends up.
