(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  Clunking w/ Rear Sway Bar... Okay so I got it all greased up, only thing I keep getting a clunking sound... I was hoping it was because I needed to grease them but I still get a decently loud clunk noise going over any kind of bump in the road. It sounds similar to a spare tire not being tightened down all the way and bumping around (but its not my tire nor my jack, I checked them). I rechecked all the bolts and they're all tight. Any idea as to what this sound is? I've had the bar installed 4 months and its gotten progressively worse over the last 2 months. HELP!

| Not Ranked : 0 score Make sure you didn't install it upside down... Yes I'm serious. Happened to a local guy. Also, your nuts need to be tight. After you have taken a spin, re-tighten all the nuts.

| Not Ranked : 0 score As others have said, it's the end links. I had this clunking issue a few months back and the bolts for the end links were a little loose. Tightened them right back up and the clunking has been gone ever since.

| Not Ranked : 0 score When an endlink is tight, it shouldn't continue to spin when attempting to tighten down more, would indicate that there is play in the threads, which may be your clunking.
