Eibach sway bars making noise
Eibach sway bars making noise
I just installed Eibach sway bars. I had them installed at a local Discount tire. When I turn right or left I can hear a thunk at the front sway bar. The sound is coming from the left front tire area. Anybody have any ideas what that noise may be? I checked all the nuts (only one at each side of the front sway bar) and they are all tight. I don't think it is from the bar twisting, as the sway bars do, that would be more of a squeek. This is definilty a thunk noise. I will take it into the tire place as well to let them take a look. By the way I have the front sway bar at it's stiffest setting up front.
Re: Eibach sway bars making noise
went back to the shop today. They adjusted the small attach arm that attaches the sway bar to the lower control arm up front and the noise went away. I was on hold with Eibach tecnical support when the guy at the shop figured it out. The sway bars actually work better now. I have the front full stiff and the back at the middle setting. What a difference from stock sport package. I took a run up Mount Palomar to test them today. I'm tempted to go full stiff at the rear sway bar as well. Has anyone tried the full stiff on the Eibach rear sway bar yet? Let me know.

Re: Eibach sway bars making noise
This is a technique that may help you tune the car. This is the instructions on how to properly skidpad a car. Find a large empty flat level parking lot. Take an object with you to use for a centering point like a cone or a chair. Put the car into a high gear and drive circles around the object. The steering should be clocked at a constant angle and you should not be making any adjustments to turn the car around in a circle. When you are driving, only look at the object in the center of the circle. In a high gear, accelerate in a circle slowly until the tires start to howl. If they aren't making noise, you are not doing it right. If you are not keeping your eyes solidly in the center of the circle, you are not skidpadding right. This is the point where you are reaching the limit of grip. The noise is the tires communicating this back to you. Keep your foot on the accelerator and go more into the gas. At this point, is the back starting to come around or the front starting to push when you exceed the limits of grip? If the back end is coming around under throttle at the limit, soften the rear bar. If the front is starting to push; then if you lift slightly on the throttle, does the front tighten back up? If it doesn't tighten back up, then either soften the front bar or stiffen the rear.
