Sway bar troubleshooting
Just installed a 22mm white line adjustable rear sway bar and on my first drive I hear clunking whenever I roll over bumps. I used kart boy end links too. Had to reuse the bottom bolt from the old end link and the top one I got at a hardware store that had similar play to the original bolt in the end link. So I figured it would be ok.
I also did the subframe outrigger bushings too. Not sure if that's causing any of it. Any chance the end links have different hardware required? Safe to drive?

Should be ok to drive.
Recheck all the nuts & bolts now the car has been driven a bit, and do it with the weight of the car on the suspension i.e not jacked up. I had a similar issue with a front sway bar, it was a loose endlink nut. And you should post in the suspension forum, this is N/A Powertrain.... |

oh man sorry... didnt realize it only covered powertrain...
i realized the bolt i used didnt have a washer or a large enough head so the endlink bushing slipped right over the end.. one little washer and shes good to go... AMAZING upgrade to anyone thinking about it! |
