recently i've been hearing this wierd sound comming from sounds like somewhere in the rear. its like a mix between a "clonking" sound and a low squeak. i thought it might have been the teflon tape comming off of the sway bar, so i took off my sway bar (AGAIN) and rewrapped it. however, it didnt help at all. the noise was still there. my guess is that it sounds like something hitting against the muffler.
anyone kno wut my problem could be

I am almost positive that one or both of your sway bar end links are loose.

Ya know those bolts that have the allen in the end of them? Tighten em up and you'll be good as new.

WiLz

you mean at the very ends where they attach near the wheels?

Exactly. Tighten those suckers up.

ok thanx, i'll try to do that

do you kno whether i hafta jack up both sides of the car? or can i do it one side at a time? (like when i rewrapped the tape, i had to jack up both sides)

I had a little 2 inch bar that has round ends come loose. It was clunking around like a padlock on my rear suspension.

As long as you can slide under the car, you shouldn't have to jack it up. If you need a jack, do one side at a time. Much safer.

where is that bar? and how did you fix it?

WiLz

aiight, i went into the dealer today, and told them to check where the noise was comming from. they told me that it was the catalytic pipes knocking against the springs. and they said that they can't fix it, cuz i have aftermarket springs. they told me to go to a muffler shop, and tell them to heat up the pipe, and bend it a lil so that it won't knock against the springs anymore.

does all this sound right to you guys? and if that is the problem, anyone kno a good place around LA/so cal where i can try to get it fixed?

I have a noise coming from the back, it sounds like its in the drivers side rear wheel, any ideas?

WiLz

I guess ill have to checked out, the wierd thing is that i only hear when i turn left on a bumpy road.
