Sway bar noise

[BRobertson]

A while back my truck started making a popping or thuding noise when I entered a drive at a diagonal . Long story short, I traced it to the sway bar, which was binding.

I replaced the bushings with a kit from Energy Suspension, they are greaseable as they come equiped with zerts.

I ordered them from Summit: Energy suspension # 9-5161R

1" bar bushing set

You can get them in red, black, or blue. The R on the end denotes Red



Problem solved

Mine does that, took it to the 5 STAR and they didnt fix it, imagine that???? They said they could not duplicate the problem, Heck I didnt want it duplicated, just fixed. oh well.

Would that be your front or your rear sway bar ?

Thanks

Rear

$14. 95 and approx 1/2 hour to replace

My rear one has recently started making a HORRIBLE NOISE everytime I make a turn. It is an aftermarket Helliwig. I have not been able to kick up their website on the net though. (Could it be that they don't have one?). Definetly need some bushings though !



Thanks.

What exactally were the semptions of the noise and what were the parameters, I have a noise I haven't figured out yet in the frontend. Any speed except real slow and in left turns only, sounds like a power sterring pump low howl(pumps fine) but it won't do it in right turns sitting still or jacked up.

My truck has the same noise/growl that happens only when making left turns. I have not been able to figure out what is causing it.



Anyone else have any ideas?
