SNAP CRACKLE POP SWAYS SUCK

What happened? Left the office yesterday and on the way home my car sounded like a Chryser K car - 1979 or so..every time I hit anything uneven in the road. All I had to do was accelrate once and I could hear shiit moaning and rattling under there..>wtf

ALigment is still perfect, the handling isn't gone, the exhaust is not the problem and the sways I had my mechanic install last week are firmly attached still.

Maybe the bushings are shot or weren't attached in the front properly???

Yes they were. This isn't squeaking - it's banging and crunching as though you are draggin a cat or a pipe that grinds when you change directions. It was from a loose front connection...

Go check the bolts on your sway bars. Especially the nut that attaches to the end of the sway bar.

Re: SNAP CRACKLE POP SWAYS SUCK

Sixfive,

You are making me think my decision on buying the Stillen
sway bars was right. Now I'm getting worried of my installation
coming up this weekend. Please keep us informed of your
solution this. If you can advise me of what NOT to do, great!

Re: SNAP CRACKLE POP SWAYS SUCK

I have the Eibach sways and the same thing happened. I took them to the shop that installed them and they lubed them and tightened everything down after a week and they have been silent ever since then.
