Just installed the Rear sway bar and

Just had the RSB (progress) installed on my 02 Max and whenever I drive over pothole (NYC of course) I hear a loud bang coming from the rear of the car, any suggestion on what causing that??? this wasnt happening before so can it be the installation or this is what I have to look forward to??

if it is a Stillen, make sure it is directly under the beam.

if it as a Addco/Cattman/Progress, move the U-bolts and bushings as far out toward the outside of the car as possible,

It's probably the U bolt (assuming it's not a Stillen) hitting the panhard bar on the rear suspension. As Irish said, either move the u fittings toward the ends, or (as I did) toward the middle.
