ok, sooooo, after about 300 miles of mostly highway driving, one thing stands out.
i get a "metallic" sound from the front suspension. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

i pretty sure it comes from the 22mm tarett swaybar.
i checked all droplinks (had one come loose saturday) and everything is thight, no wiggle.

anyone else who can confirm this?


also, on hard cornering, i now get a "cracking" sound that alomst sounds like the chassis is coming apart. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)
is that just the sway bar moving?
or should i start checking my spot-welds?

nope, bushings are still all original 9eleben rubber ...
didn't have any of those noises before i got the sway bar and the cage.

i guess my question is:
is a swaybar of that size somewhat "noisy" or is my car, with both, the cage and sway-bar, now so thight that it starts ripping my chassis apart????
