JDM ITR rear swaybar issue
Hey folks need a Lil help. I have changed all my swaybar components except the swaybar it sell. But I have a knocking sound coming from it. Once disconnected it doesn't make any knocking. I've tightened with it both on the ground and off the ground.. Greased all bushing and its still there. I even went to an alignment stand and they are stumped. I don't know what else to do. The knocking is driving me crazy HELP.
Just to note it's all hard race bushings for the swaybar and d bracket

Re: JDM ITR rear swaybar issue
All bushing are healthy? LCA, RTA, Upper camber arm and Toe arm? All are new or in good shape? I have a knocking sound coming from the trunk too. I have a brand new full ASR rear sway bar kit and Brand new BC Racing coil overs as well. My lower control arms are pretty new, but I think my upper, toe and RTS bushings may need to be replaced/upgraded...

Plus - and this may be an old wives tale? - when doing any changes to the anti roll/sway bar I was always taught to do the final tightening of all bolts when the suspension was under load, IE on the ground.

Change upper control arm bushing sway bar end link RTA sway bar bushing and sway bar to frame bushing .. Tighten both in the air and on the ground same results. Went the the alignment shop they are one of the best where I'm from and they too are stumped but said I need to change the lower control arm bushing. But I am thinking my bar maybe bent as the end links have a slight angle to them.
Also where can I find Lower control arm bushings reasonably prices where I'm from there are duties and taxes that almost double the prices of anything I purchase online I don't feel like spending 160 dollar on energy suspension bushings .

Re: JDM ITR rear swaybar issue
I have always had the knocking issue, and it is usually due to not torquing the nut enough on both the sway bar and lca. Knocking would usually be of the stud rattling in the hole as your suspension alternates tension on the swaybar.
Not sure if this is the same as what you're experiencing, only way i fixed it was to tighten up the end links whilst the car was on the ground, and tighten those suckers up (without threading anything ofc)...

Re: JDM ITR rear swaybar issue
I have a brand new full ASR brace/sway bar and endlink kit. I still have the noise. I am hoping when I finally get around to replacing the rear trailing arm/toe arm/camber arm bushings it will go away.
