Just installed upgrade sway, hearing knock noise
Just installed an Eibach front sway bar on my 03 lx a Sunday the 16th, and ive been hearing a popping noise near the passenger side. The sway bar link is a cheap one and i think it may not be up good enough for the larger bar and it knocks around. The driver side one on the other hand it's a higher grade one with grease fittings and it doesnt make any noise. The bushings were greased before installing, and it doesnt seem to be hitting anything else, it does come within CM of the control arms but doesnt seem to be hitting those either.
Does anyone have an idea what could be making the noise, i have yet to install the rear, but one of the new links i had gotten for the rear were just like the one of the front which may cause the noise.
Thanks for help

Re: Just installed upgrade sway, hearing knock noise
the factory end links are lower quality and are non greaseable so it's obvious the driver side end link has been replaced with a greaseable one.

its probably the endlink...either upgrade those to adjustable/durable ones or be prepare to have em snap. The rears are more prone to snapping though due to thicker bars. So save yourself the trouble and buy new endlinks and install all together.

I've gotten new end links when i first did the swap for the bar. Just one came greaseable and one didnt, and for the rears that i just got, its the same way. And the rear bar is only a 16mm and the front is a 26mm
