I put the Bar in about a month ago, but now I notice how on every little bump it sounds like it is hitting something. Is this common? or is the sway bar loose?

 

I just installed my Addco rear sway bar last week and have also noticed it sounds like something is hitting the ground on certain bumps on my normal route. I haven't had time to investigate it yet. Perhaps the U-bolts on the axle are too long.

 

There are alot of threads on this topic, search. You will have to side the U bolts all the way to the edge (where the bar bends) or move them in a little further. I reccomend moving them to the outer edges as far as they will go. This makes the car corner the flattest. It takes about 15 minutes with a ratchet set, just slide under the car and do it.

 

Both complaints are on a 2k or higher car, do this...check the bracket only on the right side in the back. I bet you will find scores on the back parts of the flat bracket where the lowest portion of the right rear suspension just behind the rear crossmember sits...if you move it in towards the center about 3-4 inches you will miss the lowest part of the beam and the sound will go bye-bye. Best of luck and Happy Maxxing!

 

How do I join P.A.C.T?

I want in ASAP!

Thank you! I will take a look and follow your advice.

Which bracket? The "U" bracket, or the small rectangular bracket.

I noticed some noise coming from my exhaust banging on a support beam. I guess my hangars have weakened.

 

The U bolt fits over the rear crossmember and plugs into the flat bracket which sandwiches onto the lateral bushing bracket...the trailing edge of that it what most likely is contacting the rear sosp...

 

Rear SOSP?...
