addco sway bar

I have a 00 max with addco sway bar and whenever I have 1 or more people in the back it tends to make a bottoming out noise when going over bumps. I have been told that is normal, but I don't think so. Does anyone have any insight?????

Well, on my 4th gen, the addco sway bar attaches to the axle, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter whether I have a CD case or 3 big fat guys in the back seat...

Maybe it's different on the 5th gen?

It could be the bushings...I hear that sound sometimes too.

so you think it may be the bushings??? After this snow up hear in Boston gets the hell out, I am going to take a look at it. It has gotten prgressively worse. How many people do usually have in the back???

Don't want to take it off, but I can't deal with it doing that all the time!

Check your rear facing edge of the flat bracket...if it is scored from impacts...then

Try this, it fixed Bernie's on his 2000 GXE.

Look at the mounting bracket for the right side on the cross member. Depending on where the bracket is, you may be touching the lowest portion of the rear suspension closest to the corner bend of the bar...4th genners dont have this problem as much but you will see sliding it three inches to the left when looking at it from the rear will put in in a spot with more clearance.

Happy Motoring!
