ok guys who have the sways..do you get any sounds if you push down the back of your car? I'm getting some squeeking noises..the sways were installed at the dealers..what should i do? should i take it back? i called and he said it's gunna need lube or something..but i remember something about tape? could this be whats up? someone gimme infooooo!

 

Um, it really sounds like a no-brainer. I don't have sways (yet) but chances are you just need to goop on another 1/2 lb of KY to get the squeaks out. Of course, I'd just take the car back to the dealership that took my good hard-earned money to do the job correctly.

 

I wrapped the bearing area with teflon tape before installation. Never heard "squeeking". Once when exiting a steep driveway, there was a metallic "tink" metal on metal sound from the rear. Since it has not reaccured I haven't investigated. You might get it looked at as the dealer is responsible for proper install. Luck.

 

My sways are quiet as church meese..... The teflon tape seems to be the complete answer. Do you think the dealer just slapped them on without reading the directions? I do......

 

you know what you guys should all do? sell them to me I'm really lookin' for a set of used CT sways if you know anyone selling them...

 

You are having the EXACT same problems and symptoms I was!!! It is your sways.
The installer either didn't or didn't put enough teflon tape around the bushings on the rear sways.
TAKE IT BACK. If they put your car on the lift, look at the rear sway bar and the bushings (there are two of them, mine are red) encircle the bar. They need to put as much teflon tape as possible where the bushings meet the rear sway bar.
I know all this because I got mine installed and no squeaking. Then after about 3 months, horrible squeaking from the rear over any bump. The teflon tape around the bar had wore out. It took the mechanic not even 10 minutes to remove the bushings, re-wrap the sway bar with a lot of teflon tape, and reassembe the whole thing. Very simple procedure.
Arm yourself with this info and go back to the installer. This is an EASY fix. Good luck.

 

I did the installtion myself. I used a lot of teflon tape... it is quiet like stock even better...

 

hmmm..ok well i had a discussion with my dealer about this...he says that the telflon tape will wear out over time, and that that isn't the answer..comptech should have some other fix for it..has anyone had to replace the tape after the 1st time it was put on?

 

Teflon Tape

that's your answer!

 

the tape is NOT the answer...it's a temp fix only...grease the focker up more!!! and use ordinary car grease...there's been a few threads already discussing this issue, so yer not alone...car grease the poly. bushings, and yer good to go

 

Same here!

 

Well, I don't have to swap bar yep, but is it better use car grease instead of teflon tape

 

can anyone post pics of the sways installed with the TEFLON TAPE?...
and since the sways make your car stiffer.. you should be able to take corners at higher speeds right?... is that a correct assumption?

 

Its REALL simple ! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring it to Joe's shop for install, then you will have NOISE later on

Bring it to an Acura dealership that is MOD friendly and if ANYTHING goes wrong......B R I N G IT BACK ! Its that simple, you GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, esp. those whose install this shit in their garage ! You have NOTHING to fall back on ! I do, because I PAID A ACURA dealership to install and I garantee ANYTHING goes wrong, I JUST BRING IT BACK WITH AN ORDER: F I X IT !!!!!!

WORTH EVERY PENNY GUYS !

NUFF SAID !

 

uhh i had them installed at a acura dealer...they are kinda sorta givin me shit..
