I got mine in a little off center and you could visibly see it wasnt right.

Don helped me (read: he did the work, i handed him the tools) put mine on--I think they are the way he described above and I did hold them in place while he remounted the shocks. So centered properly.

Be a year come 4th of July I've had them on. So save for the occasional creaking on the passenger side in back at random times (smooth road, bumps, etc), I don't have a clunking sound. Haven't checked to see if the rubber is wearing off.

Regardless, I just love having them on--look great and the ride is nice.

Well, reinstalled them today, no big deal. They feel and sound the same (although they were just installed earlier today)... But, I guess I have a little more piece of mind if nothing else. The vehicle definitely handles a fair amount sharper, although when I get and put on the TTR rear sway bar that's coming on Tuesday, I'm sure it will be much more solid! Thanks for your input guys And girl(s)

Josh, you will definitely like the ride more with the sway bar! I hope it helps with the noise too. :)
