BWoody Sway Bar End Links

[FlintIonQC]

I'm hoping to get Bwoody to chime in about this as well as the rest of you who have installed these. I put them on my 07 Ion QC 3 with the FE3 suspension without a problem. Installation was quick, and I torqued them down as tight as I could. As soon as I took it out for a drive, I noticed some banging noise at low speed coming from that area. It may happen at faster speeds, but you can't hear it. It seems as if there is some play in the end links that I can hear going over bumps or turning when the sway bar moves. It is now 2 weeks later and it hasn't gone away. I want to keep them on obviously, but it is kinda bad pulling into a parking lot or what not and having your front end banging around making noise you can hear if you're by the car outside. Any clue guys and gals? I know there isn't too many people with them installed, but their input/experiences would be really appreciated.

My car makes that noise too, but Mike thought it was my sway bar bushings causing the problem.

Mine have been on for months, so I know it's not a potential point of failure. It's just annoying to hear the clunking when pulling into parking spaces or going over speedbumps.

Hopefully, I'll get under the car this weekend and confirm the root of the problem.

I just had my sway bar bushings replaced under warranty, so I think I can eliminate that.

Not if you went to my Saturn dealer They don't actually fix things until the 3rd visit.
