Swaybar problems......
I had installed the swaybars on friday.. Drove the car a lot on sunday, no problems. I did hear a light knocking sound when I pulled into my driveway, but was unsure if I actually heard something or not(the radio was loud)and my brother was standing outside by the driveway and didn't say anything either.. Eventually the sound became more noticeable... Last night I went on and off the curb/sidewalk into and out of the driveway a number of times, and heard a snapping/knocking noise almost every time the body flexed from going on and off the curb on an angle... Now it's even more noticeable.. If I drive straight over some bumps I'm hearing a knocking sound... I'm not sure if it's the wheels or sways, but it seems more like the problem to be the sways because I'm hearing an occasional knock from the back of the car too(the rear wheels aren't close to anything that it can hit)... The sways were installed using an impact wrench too, not just my strength... I dunno man.. I'm going to take my car to my friend tomorrow and have him check it out again, as well as do the alignment and check the balance on the wheels again.. Anybody else have this problem?

I woulda checked old posts but I have slow-a$$ 56k connection at work, and not a lot of spare time on my hands today.. But what everyone said was my first assumption..I'm going to take it to Park Ave anyways to have a special ordered part installed and Jens will check out the sways too..
