I've got Hotchkis bars, and I've got clunking. I recently installed aftermarket end links, and I've still got clunking.

 

hotchkis sways

have the noise front only

not sure if it is sway for sure

but could be

look for zirc fitting on front sway but i did not find

found zirk on rear sway and lubricated

 

hotchkis and i hear a clicking from the rear of the car

 

Was that a poem? But you are correct, the Hotchkis bars only replace the rear mounts with zirk fittings. The front mounts remain stock.

 

Hotchkis - noise, but it started after about two weeks...
So is this normal? Can I still drive hard?
Mechanic used torque wrench set to 40 (specified in the instructions).
How can I loose the noise? Louder stereo? lol

 

Hotchikis and no noise.. didnt know there was a porblem???

 

more likly to be axle clicking.... mine is in the shop today for that very thing...

 

i got the noise from the front on tight turns and low speed

 

It's probably not the axle clicking TSB. I had that problem as well, and it sounded totally different. My Hotchkis swaybars behaved just like SunsetSunrise describes. Started clunking a few weeks after I installed them. I haven't been able to stop it since. I've tried a number of different end links, and none of them fixed it permanently. My latest heavy duty adjustable end links stopped the clunking for a while, but it's back. At this point, I'm thinking of putting the stock swaybars back in for a while and see how that goes, since that's the only thing I haven't tried yet.

 

Hotchkis.. No Noise. But then again, I also have a lot of noise coming from the front of the car..

 

Do you think its safe to drive with the noise?
The car drives fine, just the noise scares me a little....

 

Hotchkis and no noise whatever.

But I had mine installed by Hotchkis, so hopefully they know what they're doing!

 

hmmmm...
what to do

 

As long as you greese the bushings on the sway bars and you are not contacting anything throught your travel of your suspension, your popping noise is coming from you End-links and not your sway bar.

 

my endlinks pop. SPL's

 

I'm planning on getting these soon, and want to grease them before I put them on. What kind of grease is safe/lasts long?

 

Tanabe...no noise !

 

My SPL links clunk as well as pop. Very annoying.

 

yeah, I bought thinking they would not do that.

 

How often do people who dont have any noise grease the bushings for the Sway bars? This whole noise issue is keeping me from getting the Sways.
