Default KNoCks, CluNkS, and BumpS!?!?

Well it has been a couple months since I installed my H&R springs, Tokico Shocks, and Progress rear sway/tie bar. I can't complain about how it performs because its way way better than stock. The thing is that my Progress sway bar is makin awfully alot of noise its getting to the point where I cant even stand it anymore. I know its not my exhaust hitting the bar because I had driven my car with no muffler but the sounds are still there. I can hear it coming from both sides of the rear. I also let my bro rocked it back and forth while i was under the car and I dont see anything out of place?? Any ideas?

might be dumb question but is everything tight as far as nuts and bolts another thing you might try doing is pulling it off and then put it back on something might be in a bind. just my worthless 2 cents

I had this problem before check all the bolts that hold down the sway. plus check the endlinks. just make sure you tighten everything down to specs.

i have to agree, it sounds like your swaybar is binding.

what wheel size/offset are you running?

also, have you tightened all the strut mounting points, including the center nut?
