Pushrod91 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Did you put any lube on the bushings? Or recheck the tightness? Only think I can think off obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slykin Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I don't see how a bar could be noisy unless the bushings aren't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushrod91 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Some will say no you don't. IMO. I say yes... Its no different then needed grease in a ball joint. But I play in the dirt now. So I could get bitched at, at any second for. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1997cobra Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 front and rear both clunk? i could see the cluck happen in the front if the bushings on the frame are sloppy or the joints are bad. IDK how the rear would ever clunk though?and how do you take "hard turns" without scraping? lol that thing is soooo low! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) lol, doing what wrong? pretty straight forward install....anywho i've always thought the bushings were cheap and actually looked too fn small when i put them on the end links. never seemed like they would hold the sway bar in place...need to find some better bushings!!- - - Updated - - -front and rear both clunk? i could see the cluck happen in the front if the bushings on the frame are sloppy or the joints are bad.

LilRoush Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Are you sure it's the sway bar making the noise? Or did adding the sway bar stiffen up your front that it's causing other problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did adding the sway bar stiffen up your front that it's causing other problems?dont say that, lol. a little bit ago i was under there and really yanked around on it like as hard as i could. def making a kinda pop sound right at the end link. i just cant yank and look at the end link at the same time haha.

Slykin Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Are the end link bolts tightened down enough? I know it sounds simple.. but.. ya know.. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilRoush Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 All this talk of yanking and being stiff is getting distracting. If you can't do it yourself...can your wife help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
