Default Pfadt sways installed at CARLISLE...clunking noise now.

Annoying and agravating to say the least.Less then 30 days and it sounds like knocking on a door. Emailed,called etc..originally told bolts were on wrong.Swapped those and the noise is still there.Anyone experience this issue??What was the fix??Thanks.

Pfadt's ??? I thought they went belly up. Who did the install?? Should be their liability or compensation for making it right

This.

Check to make sure everything is tightened correctly. Loose links will pop.

Also consider AM links. Chances are the more aggressive bars will kill your stock links faster.

aFe Power took over of PFADT (bought, merged or whatever). They offer an aFe PFADT Series sway bar set.

I assume this is what the OP is referring to.

Aftermarket endlinks, and yes they are better than the stock. They kept your stock endlinks when they installed the bars.

Look at the video that Jake posted, you can see the gold colored endlinks that they sell separately. Not saying your stocks wont work...they will work, they just probably will fail faster with the stiffer bars.
