Slight knock with Eibach Rear Sway bar

Hey peeps,

I put on the new bar a few days ago and the driving experience has been great but over some bumps im hearing a slight knock. Everything is tight, I was under the car yesterday and I noticed there's a very small amount of room between the Bar / end-links and the spring bucket / arm ( i cant remember the tech term, sorry) and I feel like maybe theres a little rubbing going on.

I have the bar on the stiffer setting, My question is if this is normal, or if its something that comes along with using the stock endlnks, input and opinions welcome. This is my first time upgrading a bar, if done springs in the past but not on this car yet.

Thanks

I had the same problem after installing my RSB. You need to torque the bolts to the endlinks to proper spec. I would also suggest using the softer setting if you’re on the stock suspension.

I had this problem but like the other guy said. Make sure you use a torque wrench and do it exact to spec.

This was like the 9th car I’ve installed a rear sway bar on and it was pretty much the first time I had issues. (Never used torque wrench before). I retighten everything and I haven’t had any issues since...

Thanks, got my car on the ramps this afternoon and realized I left my torque wrench at my buddies house so ill re do the bar in the next couple days and see how we do. Appreciate the quick replies!

May i suggest washers on either side of both ends of the bar. Helps the nuts have something to grab onto. Loc tight never hurt either

I had the same issue, but turns out I lost one of the brackets

Dang that sucks. Mine did turn out to be the end link being loose. Tightened it up and it's all quiet. Thanks again peeps
