I just replaced the nuts on the rear swaybar endlinks but in the beginning I didn't know I had to use an allen wrench to stop it from spinning, so I just used a wrench by hand on one end and it rotated a little but obviously it went back in reverse. I did this a few times.
After tightening it the correct way, it seemed fine and no noise was apparent driving on bad roads like before. Although now when making right turns onto an inclined driveway, it makes a loud clunking sound almost like something was overtighened.
For reference, my sway bar does seem off center on the right a inch or so, but the sound seems to be coming from the same endlink I worked on. Is it possible I could've messed the endlink up and does it need to be a certain orientation? I did just order a new endlink just in case and it'll arrive tomorrow.
