Replaced my front sway bar...
I just put on a 32mm front sway bar and really love the handling! One question though...
The noise that this sway bar produces is LOUD...is it the bushings or the bar itself? Can I get this noise to stop or to drastically reduce?
Thanks!
BTW: Also put Carbotech XP10s and AP Racing DOT4 fluid in...I am ready for the National Corvette Museum HPDE at Putnam Park and for Oct. 19-21 at Autobaun CC!

When I replaced my sway bars with the Z06 sway bars there was no noise at all after the replacement.
Could be the bushing rubbing.

sounds like metal to metal when I hit bumps and imperfections in the road...
I think I need to grease the bushings and retorque the HEIM endlinks..

Adam, do you have the adjustable Helm links? If so they are noisy for the street without weekly grease job. I just got T1 bars and will install with new Z06 links becasue of that fact.
PS-Did you get the shocks I sent an get them installed?
