Message	Anyone else having issues with SPL tension and tie rods creaking and groaning? Mine do this when steering and when there is suspension travel while braking (more noticeable when close to stopping) It seems to be worse when the ambient temperature is colder. I have the V5 tie rod ends and the titanium tension rods. I called SPL a while back (when i had about 500 miles on them) and they said they should stop making noise once they break in. Well i have almost 3000 miles on them now and they still make noise (and it isn't subsiding). They also mentioned i can use teflon spray lube. I bought some and used it and it tends to quiet them down but only for a few miles. Anyone else with the same issue? Advice? Thanks in advance!
