Is this typical? I just put my new 3-link on a couple of weeks ago. It has heim joints on the frame side and they are noisy. I'll try to post a video later. I can bounce a hammer on the tire sidewall and hear it and if I grab the joint I can make the noise go away. The arms don't feel loose or anything, it just makes noise at low speed while stopping or turning and when I'm bumping the tire with a hammer.

 

the vibration of hitting the tire makes the heim joint squeak? That's a bit much. but yeah, heims are noisy in general. Shoot them with some WD40 or whatever pleases you, it helps a bit

 

It's more like a rattle. I thought I must have a loose bolt or something but everything is very tight. I was a little surprised to be able to isolate the noise to the brand new heim joints but that's clearly what it is.

 

Mine usually squeak a bit after a few months but not new. I use the spray on lithium grease every so often and it keeps them quiet.

 

That actually worked surprisingly well.
