welcome to the club ! (lol)
I have a EG civic with the 20/22mm swaybar and simply saying , it makes alot of noise. After going back to whiteline and looking under and re-lubing , the exact noise has still not been found. All i know is on hard left hand corners the exhaust piping appears to "knock" against the swaybar and on pivoting driveways or speed bumps there is a not-so-nice sharp CLICK from the back.
Not to mention the rear just making iffy metal noises while driving in a straight line.
But there isnt a problem at all in performance or noticeable wear etc...
- Bushes need to be greased up. You know how you got a little bag....use it ALL on both bushes.
- Swaybar was incorrectly bent and taps against some part of the chassis on twists. Best way to check, jack the car up on both sides, put some bricks under one side of the car (tyre, typically the one in which direction you say the noise comes from when you turn) and then lower it slowly and see if the bar taps the chassis anywhere.
it is very hard to diagnose the problem, easiest way is probably to take the darn thing off and reinstall.
i relubed, retightened various parts of the whiteline sway about 6-7 times, without success. taking the thing off felt alot better, the snapping sounds it made whilst driving was just awful to hear on a daily basis.
whiteline want 57 dollars or so for new d-brackets/saddle things + u bolts & nuts..... mmm... woitek gimme a discount!!
damn u lucky bastard slim!! mines off the car atm.... im guessing the warped mounts have introduced some extra play.... therefore making the noise
guys, check out your d saddle mounts etc, if you have overtightened them too much it can cause it to warp i think. this may be the reason why its making noises constantly, i'll have to get a new set to confirm though.
ur dc2 vtir must be very high
my civic is stock height and if u put ur head under it and bounce the car around i'm pretty sure u'll get hit... unless ur head is like 10cm in diameter...
