Post Clicking Sound During Turns

I have noticed this problem recently about 2 weeks after installing comptech sway bars on my 2000 TL. Whenever I am making a sharp RIGHT turn either from stop or at low speed I hear a SINGLE clicking/snapping sound coming from the front passenger side near the windshield area. Has anybody else experienced this or any idea on what may be causing it?

I'd say take it back to the place that installed it and have them check it out.

I have a clicking noise that sounds like it is coming from the passenger window or wheel well. It happens when my front passenger wheel hits a bump or the car sways. I think it is the plastic trim in the moonroof area. I'm going to the dealer in 3 weeks.

If it's related to the sway bar install, check the end link nuts. Mine got a little loose after a couple of weeks and cause a slight clicking noise when I stop or start. Just grab a 14mm wrench and tighten the nuts.

Here's a link to some pics I took of the install which shows where the nuts are located.

there are quite a few posts about this if you do a search, but the outcome has been that it's the swaybar hitting the frame and it just needs to be adjusted. that's probably what yours is too.

here's my topic from a while ago for more details on what I experienced.
