Addco- Sway Bar Inquiry Help!

Hey maxima ppl.. i need some help.. my mechcanic just installed the addco sway bar on my 2000 max and whenever i hit a bump it makes a hard sound underneath the passenger car. I have factory shocks, and Eibach springs.. And when i have ppl sitting in the back the sound is even louder and its only on the passenger side. I looked underneath the car and jacked it up. There was no markings. Has anyone put the ADDCO sways to their max or know anything about my problem i have? Give me suggestions. thanxs lata

can be solved by moving the circular rings more apart...

Move the U-bolts and bushings over about 4 to 5 inches from the bend. The instructions for the ADDCO bar are bogus! I had the same problem on my initial install.

Yep. The problem is the RSB clamp is hitting the Panhard bar, and making a clunk. Moving the clamp on that side (passgner) closer in to the center will fix it (and it's just a crawl under the car, loosen the bolts, and slide it fix - easy).

I have my U-Bolts right at the end and haven't had any problems. Why do some people have problems and others don't?
