End Link Problem?? I Think.
Has anyone had problems with after market end links (progress) causing a 'clunking' sound in the rear suspension??
I upgraded to a Progress rear sway bar and Progress end links. Since the install I've been getting a loud 'clunk' from the rear drivers side when ever I hit a bump in the road. Not just big bumps either, small one's as well.
HELP. ANYONE???

Well first off - check your strut tower in the back. The nut might not be tight enough.
Also, is it squeaking also? because that would indicate a blown strut.
Did u use bushings in the end link? If you did - and everything's tight, it shouldn't clunk.

I had that same problem with OEM endlinks and a Progress bar.

Re: (That BEAST)
How tight is "tight enough" for the top nut at the rear strut tower??? can it be over tightened??

Absolutely , packing tape is almost rock hard if it's wound perfectly tight. My suspension is totally quiet now.
