Possible Hotchkis Sway Bar fix

If you ever do a track event in the South, let me know as I will probably be there too.

Glad they worked out for you. As for tracking in the South, you're on. I love Road Atlanta and can't wait to get back there.
Well my car was in the shop yesterday so I just had them throw my sways on too... put em on the middle holes front and rear.
I gave them the collars and actually forgot to tell them that they dont have to go RIGHT up against the brackets and because of the bends preventing them from doing that they just installed one collar on the inside of the bracket and one on the outside of the opposite one, or something like that... should still have the same effect and keep the bars from moving... I will post if there are any adverse effects or if it doesn't work properly.
So far pretty happy with them, but to be honest its not as noticable as I imagined it would be. Steering feels a little tighter and there is less body roll and turn in is tighter and more predictable, but all in all its much less noticable in daily driving than I imagined... time to go canyon carving and see how they really feel!

Usually its the end links and/or bushings that make the noise. Mine went 80k miles before i swapped to better endlinks, you probably have the bars adjusted to tight.
noises can come from several places as pointed out above - endlinks, bushings, ball joints. Gotta get the car in the air and do a full inspection. Mileage will vary. At about 30k miles I had already replaced front endlinks once and rears twice. Once switched to aftermarket endlinks (powergrid), zero issues since
