Loose Sway bar bolt

[RogRacer]

I've had my MS3 for about 1500 miles now...love it....but was bothered by an ocassional thumping/clanking come from the back end. At first I though it was a loose jack but after crawling around under the car I discovered that the right side rear sway bar link bolt wasn't torqued...it was very loose...a few more turns and it would have fallen out. It really surprised me the factory could miss it....but anyway, you guys might want to check yours. I still need to check my motor mount bolt. Now I'm a little more motivated.(boom05)

Same happened to me, I was able to take mine off by hand. I used some red locktite and wrenched that bad boy on there.

I took it to the dealer for a look over and it was fine and they havent heard of this before. Obviously there is an issue since its the same bolt and side for a number of people.
