Hotchkis Rear Bar Clunk - anyone have this?

[cornercarver]

I installed my Hotchkis front & rear bars a week or so ago and immediately noticed a faint ’clunk’ coming from the rear. I assume it must be the end links but everything is tight. The sound did not exist before the install. I do remember noting the bolts connecting the end link to the rear bar had a slight amount of play. I thought once everything was tight, that wouldn’t matter, but I’m betting it’s the source. I got under the car last night to check it again, and everything is tight.

Anyone else notice this?

I was going to contact Hotchkis customer service but something tells me that will be a dead end. I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with their parts. :rolleyes

Take the end links off and test drive it to see if the noise goes away. That way you can confirm it's the sway bar. I once thought I had a sway bar noise which turned out to be a poly rtab.

If it is the sway bar, it might be the interaction or slippage at the sway bushing.
