Didja lubricate the bushings before you slapped the swaybar on?

Is there some reason you're not asking Dezod? Seems they'd know best.

I'd expect them to be noisier than stock since they use heim joints instead of rubber or poly bushings, that's often the price you pay for improved control.

Try white lithium grease. Teflon lined heims are not sometimes the most quiet items in existence. As said perfectly prior, "that's often the price you pay for improved control."

After puting in my endlinks ive also had some nasty popping and creaking. The creaking was resolved for a bit with the WD40 but it eventually comes back (like after a month or so) The popping i have no idea but it def doesnt sound healthy to me either. Ima put it back on stands and check again soon cause they might be installed slightly crooked

i'm having the same issue now. Just with one of the endlinks tho. I need to lubricate the joints and bushings. I have the rear sway bar set to the sitffest setting (hotchkis) and i am tempted to go back to the softest setting...but i love how my car handles

Try white lithium grease on all bushings and the heims.

perhaps a noob question, but has any thought been given to greasable heims? ie endlinks with zerk fittings on the heim joints?
