T 1 sway bars
Does anyone have T 1s on there car that are quiet. If so how did you
get them to be quiet.Had them on my car for about a month and the clunking over bumps drives me nuts.I loved the way the car handled but the clunking is so annoying.I have the Zo6 bars on my ride for now,
until i figure something out.I know this is a racing part but there has to
be a way to silence them.

Re: T 1 sway bars (c5 shawn)
I would get down under there and make sure everything is tight. I recently solved a problem with clunking in my front end, the driver side front endlink on my Hotchkis bar was very loose.
I tightened that thing as much as possible and it's been fine ever since.

Re: T 1 sway bars (John Shiels)
John,
Please enlighten me also as I just installed T1's on my vert and with the heim links it rattled at slow speeds only and especially on slow bumps-made me not want to drive it. Recently I re-installed the factory end links on the rear and Hotchkis end links on the front. So far I only have a little rattle on the front left and none in the rear but deep slow dips and some slow speed bumps do make a sound from the bushings which I pre-greased.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D
Definitely no clunking though.
