Traction bar radius rod cluck/creeking
Hey guys, just curious if anyone has experienced this problem before. I started to noticed a slight clucking, more of a creeking coming from my front end going over small road bumps and such.
Today I noticed I could replciate the noise by bouncing my front passenger corner, its not as loud as I thought, but the slower you make the car motion, the more drawn out the creek/clunk is.
I reached down and held the passenger radius rod while slghtly bouncing the front and it felt in my hand as if it was "vibrating" kind of, hard to explain in words, but not moving through its motion easily
Thats all I could really tell from ontop of the car, is there anything I should look for/inspect when and if I jack the front up?
Its an ETD bar, but it has less than 5K miles on it since installed new on this Crx. I checked all the bolts tightness a few weeks after I installed it, but maybe something is loose? Or a rod end already busted?? Sure hope not, just got the car aligned a few weeks ago.
Appreciate any advice

Was the bolts holding the radius rod to the LCA, both bolts snugged up and the play went away. I think I torqued them to 75ft/lbs or so during installation, shoulda checked them after I drove the car a while I guess
