Dinan Forward thrust arm bearing noise

[Ilikemike]

A few months after having the Dinan thrust arm bearings installed, I began Hearing (the previously complained about) 'clicks' from the front end when reversing and turning the wheel and occasionally when braking. The car feels very solid and had it checked for 'play or any looseness' in the suspension, everything is tight but nobody can tell me what is causing the clicking sound.... Had the MP HAS installed recently and the clicking got a little worse, but again car feels solid. Any ideas or insights? As an aside , I Contacted Dinan a few months ago but 'crickets' from them.....

I would check the tie rods for wear/damage. I have the Dinan Mono Ball Kit and no issues.

Thanks for the reply, just wonder why you think tie rods?

I would double check the torque value on the bolt and ensure proper spacers were used on each side of the bushing on both left as nd right arms as well. I ditched tinan and went with turner years ago due to noise from dinan and on mine it was one of the spacers didnt fit flush.

Thanks, I suspect the 'dealer installation' was improper and I hear these complaints from time to time but I'm mostly concerned about catastrophic failure at speed. The m4 is going in for this problem in September and those I've spoken to don't seem concerned. Thx for the heads up on Turner, the turner parts, especially the pre-fit ball joint and arm, are definitely the next purchase!
