All right, so here goes, this is my first topic post so go easy on me and please don't flame me too much. About 6 months ago i installed the suspension technique's sway bar kit on my 94 GT HB. I had done this previously on my 94 ST Coupe and no problems, so i finished the install on my Gt and went for a test drive around the block. Everything was fine, car drove increasingly better, but the only thing is that any time i go over a slight bump or hole in the road there is a loud knocking/clunking noise coming from the right rear. Now i know that its the sway bar cuse it never had the noise with the stock ones in. So my question is, has anyone ever had this prob, and if so..what do i do to get rid of it? I have tightened the sway bar tot he factory torque, and i have use plenty of lithium grease, so there are no probs, im lost and gettin really annoyed with this noise! PLEASE HELP!

im having the same problem, but for the fronts. when i go on small bumps i hear knocking noise. so today i might check to see if something is loose, so i open my hood and try to tight the middle bolt and its moving, but everytime i try to tighten it, its moving the strut too. so iono what sup with that.
