Hello,

I bought a 2003 Z a few months ago, and the guy modified a few things on it. Since about 2 weeks, I hear a 'clunk' in my rear suspension. It's an annoying (cheap) noise, especially around my town where the road is pretty much like Mexico.

He told me he has installed Hotchkiss Sway Bars (Front/Rear) + Energy Suspension Sway Bar Bushings... so I guess the problem might be worn bushings, but I wanted feedback first.

I don't want to go to the dealer without any replacements.

Also, I tried to find these on the web without any success. Do you guys know a place where I can order those?

Thanks in advance!

 

I've had the Hotchkiss bars on my '08 for quite a while, and had no issues with their busings. Why not call Hotchkiss and just get a set from them? Replacement is really easy, with simple hand tools, even if you've never done it before. Don't forget to buy some grease, too.

The noise could also be coming from the endlink bushings, so check those also.

 

sounds like end links to me.

 

+1 to endlinks. Its caused by binding. I have the same issue on mine. I have hotchkiss as well front and rear. Try searching in this forum, there are a lot of threads on this.

 

Probably end links , please post your sway bar settings
