suspension click?
i just got my ITR rear sway installed. now when i make hard left turns, i hear a clicking sound on the rear pass side. is it the sway? i looked it over and i don't see any parts missing or loose. i have no idea what this could be... unless it's the sway bar itself. and help would do.

Do you have aftermarket springs? If so, they could just be coming unseated slightly when the load is taken off of them. For example, when you're making a hard left turn, you would hear a clicking from the right rear. I don't know why that wouldn't have been happening before the swaybar install, though.

Great reply. The sway bar would cause the spring to unsettle because of the force it is exerting.
If you study the effects of a sway bar, It may make sense.
High rate rear sway bars cause the INSIDE REAR tire to actually LIFT in hard cornering.

Makes sense as a sway bar is essentially a large spring. I was speaking from personal experience with the aforementioned problem, though. When I first installed my H&R sports, they would become slightly unseated in the manner in which I previously described. That's what I was referring to. Since my problem occured WITHOUT the aid of a rear sway, I simply stated that he could be having the same problem as me.
