This is a question to all people, having installed uprated Cusco/Whiteline sway bars.
After installing the Cusco sway bars and new drop links (non OE items), I get an odd knocking sound from the front of my car. There was no knocking prior to the change of the sway bar, so my feeling says, it must have something to do with the new sway bars.
The sound cannot be located if left or right. We double ckecked all ball joints/tie rod, tie rod ends and they are fine. The knock is only there on light bumpy roads. Hitting a pothole or any bigger hole does not give the knock sound.
My assumption is, that the drop links are possibly a bit too long (due to not being OE items but fit the 8G range). Together with the car being a good amount lowered and the Cusco bar being thicker, my assumption is, that the sway bar is hitting the front subframe above the exhaust/prop shaft.
Can anyone confirm this? Or may there be other points to check? Anyone else who had problems with the uprated sway bars?
If it is a problem of the drop links, I will get myself a pair of whiteline, adjustable ones. But I want to have your opinions before I spend 150 EUR on something, which might not work afterwards...
