Hey,
After installing my rear swaybar ive noticed that there is a banging noise which i presume is the swaybar striking against something back there. Ive had a look and there are a few marks on the swaybar:
- From the bolts through the parallel links (LHS and RHS)
- The bolt through the connecting rod (RHS)
- The poly LHS D-bush has cracked also.

The car is a Nissan NX Coupe and the swaybar fitted is the BNR13 fixed Whiteline swaybar with 71716A and 70085 Whiteline springs.

Im wondering if any (or all of these) are likely candidates for the noise. Ive heard that it also could be a spring not seated correctly, but the springs have been in a lot longer than the swaybar. There are pics of it all up at http://members.iinet.net.au/~aspiers/swaybar/

Thanks

G'day,

Thanks for the pics and info so far.
Would you have a bigger picture to show the whole swaybar by any chance? I'd like to see the alignment of the bar, and other clearances and angles.

Where are you located? If you are in Sydney, then it's best if you could bring the car to us so we can check it all out for you properly, as it may be difficult to do remotely.

Let us know.

Regards,
Wojtek.

Hey,
Ive uploaded some more pictures into the same directory as before, they are the DSCN____.jpg ones. I wasnt sure if you wanted more up close photos of the connecting rod areas.

Im in Brisbane so Sydney is a fair drive away :)

Thanks

Thanks,
It looks like you have the end links too high on the strut mount, and too short. I suggest that you adjust your end links down, this should fix the problem for you.
