Default Suspension technique sway bars.

I have a problem with my front sway bar, it seems to be squeeking and knocking. Does anybody have a clue what is causing this, or how I can fix it...

Thanks in advance.

if it came w/ poly bushings, you may not have greased them enough, as far as the knocking, double check all the bolts and make sure nothing is loose. Jack the car up and load the suspension w/ another jack and see if it hits something

He said 'as far as I know' which isn't that far.


Bases, make sure all the mounts are torqued and all the bushings lubricated.

After one season my st rr swaybar made clicking noises. It is coming from the spherical bearings. They are already worn out. I am going to replace them with some better quality ones. It is worth a look.
