creaking noise from rear of car
as the topic says, only when im turning left. i have h&r sports on oem shocks and a skunk2 21mm bar. i'm thinkin it's one of three things...
1. endlink problem? i dont know what would cause that, but the fact it only happens when i turn left has me thinkin it's that
2. loose rear parcel shelf. it's pretty much just sittin there, so i guess that little bit of twist in the chassis might cause that to me making the noise. unlikely, but worth a shot.
3. the inevitable rear subframe damage. havent had the money to get a beaks kit, but i've had the sway bar on for about 3 months and have tried to keep my driving pretty sane. never seen a track or autox with the bar on. i hope that isn't it...
i thought maybe the bushings just needed some lube, but it doesnt creak during straight driving (when both wheels pretty much move up/down together and the bar doesnt twist) which leads me to believe that isnt the problem. any input would be greatly appreciated.

When my car first started squeaking it did the same thing, only made noises sometimes when I turned. Eventually it got worse and started making noises all the time. My OEM bushing were getting worn down so I just replace all of them w/ the hyperflex bushing kit. No more squeaking
If you do it yourself installation is a pain in the ***. (something I would not like to do again) If you know someone that has access to a hydraulic press then that would help you out a great deal.
As far as the ride, it was the best suspension mod I have ever done. Steering response became alot quicker and handled so much better. But it is very bumpy now and you feel every little crack on the road. But me personally got used to it.
