rear sway

[specialized32]

hey,

I have a whiteline rear swaybar and the thing keeps on making a popping sound at first i though fk i broke the damn thing but its ok so i just tightened it again but the bloody thing keeps on popping especially over moderate speed humps or going around corners sometimes. So what? Need to go to the gym more and tighten again or rip the thing off and check for cracks?

Most likely more gym required :P

Best thing to do is when your car goes into service, ask them loosen the nuts and then do them up with a rattle gun.

If your friendly with your service manager, you may be able to just pop in and they'll do it on the spot free of charge. Or anyone you know with a rattle gun.

I applied heaps of leverage and it still came back later on until I did this.

I did mine up tight with a one meter socket handle, now it doesn't make a sound.

Yeah I think it could be your driveway. I drove up it twice and then is started creaking, I tightened it a while back and now its fine.

I can't even get the darn bolts off to fit mine. I'm using a 45cm socket wrench and don't have any more leverage...

I found the best way was to jack the back of the car up and put it on stands (chock the front wheels so they don't roll)

Take the rear wheels off... this will give you clean access to the bolts at the top of the cross-member.

use a 19mm socket and take the suckers off (I used my 750mm torque wrench for leaverage)

Pull the old bar out and put one side of the new bar in and place the bolt back and secure the top nut so it doesn't fall out. It's now easier to align the 2nd hole.

Swing the bar so the 2nd hole is into place and put the other bolt through

tighten the bolts with a short socket wrench (for ease in the tight space) then use a longer wrench to tighen it up AS HARD AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!!!
