Stock swaybar...just be careful

[AutoEuphoria]

When I was switching my stock swaybar out for the Hotchkis unit I noticed that the endlink bolt on the right (passenger's) side was VERY loose...must have been causing that clunking from the rear. I'd say the nut was 1/2 way down the threads on the stud. Just be careful and check your bolts!

Thanks. I check mine regularly because of warnings like this.

Thanks for the head's up! This has actually been talked about a lot by the earlier 07 and 08 guys too.

Locktite baby.

Even with Loctite, my buddy's Cobb RSB has started clunking. Turns out the loctite-d endlinks loosened up anyhow.

My Cobb RSB was clunking at first until I realized it was hanging too low. I moved it up a little bit and it's quite now.
