A friends tab locks at the ball joints are loose and rattling,is there anthing you can do to tighten them up?Mine dont rattle,but his do is that normal?the ball joints are plenty tight with no play in them,and I cant find anything in the manual(saying they should be tight or loose),more grease?I seen sombody post something about black tape,dont think thats a long term fix

I just noticed that one of mine was doing the same thing this weekend. but i dont think that it will hurt anything if you can put up with a little rattle.

Mine did it and it was very annoying after awhile. I took black zipties and went around the "black tab". It cleared all the rattleing and no problem since

I used a little bead of blue silicone along the edge between the a-arm and the clip. It does the trick and can be remove easy for replacement.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
