I had a 22mm on my car for abour 1 year.. it was ok during that period
it would also put the idea of running soft springs with large sway bars to rest as discussed awhile ago.. the softer the spring the more stress on the sway = more chances of getting it ripped off
ok, when i dump my car it makes the noise, but when i have it at nomal height its fine, the problem is your Lower control arm, the sway bar is sitting on the LCA which inturns makes the noise. i have coilovers so i have been playin around with my whole suspension setup, i have a whiteline swaybar at the rear, and my swaybar sits on the lca and makes the same noise, so annoying, but when you got ur swaybar installed by any chance did u get ur spring installed at the same time, if you did, it explains why it has only happin in the last few months, ur spring have dropped over time and now is sitting on the lca.
this might be the problem but it might not be, dunno without having a look at it.
if its not the problem please tell me, thanks

And the point of that post was??Quote:

now if you look, the swaybar is sitting on the LCA and when you go for a drive it creaks. now go figure what the point of ur post was. have some respect for other ppl and stop trying to flame them.
civiclower: yeh i completely agree with u man!! that COULD be it.. my car, on one side i can see it slightly rubbing the LCA, hasnt gone to the extent of urs tho!!! i will put tape around that and see if the noise goes away.. thanks for ur input man!
hey civlowwer, can you take some more pics. Quite interesting what you got there, I originally thought it was that making the sound in my car. How low is your car?
I suggest u guys upgrade the bolts supplied from whiteline if u are using those kits.
I thought they were a bit weak and not high tensile.
yeh i noticed that they are lower than ur standard oem bolt in strength.. why is this? and where do u get stronger bolts chi??
Cost factor...the replacement item costs about $10 each bolt for a "10" (OEM strength). Still dosent make sense when it is our saftey....
You can pick up custom bolts from places such as "Conventry fasteners" (located in Castle hill) etc. Id look at it for sure Tony !
