Possible endlink knocking

**--drew--** · 08-08-2013 01:43 PM

Hey guys,
Recently installed a jdm itr rear sway bar along with asr subframe brace into my vti-r Integra. I have type r suspension and brakes all round too.
Along with that I bought new hardrace collar bushings, endlinks and sway bar bushings. And yes I did buy the 23mm bushings not 22mm.

Once installed I went on my merry way. Then noticed a massive knocking sound when going over humps on roads and driveways but only on a angle. Then I noticed it happening when turning. Only happens though when there is enough force for the sway bar to actually work.

Took it back to my mechanics and we started a process of elimination. One of those was having the endlinks disconnected so effectively having no sway bar. Took it for a drive and no knocking.

After that I thought it has to be the endlinks but had no idea why. Would I need adjustable endlinks? Why would the endlinks be causing the knocking?

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Checked that as well.
The knocking is coming from either side of the car too.

My endlinks knock. Tighten up the nuts that hold the endlink to the sway bar, knocking goes away. 2 days later gradually comes back

Maybe I should use some loctite.

Check for any play in your endlinks if tightening up real tight isn't doing anything.
