Howdy,

My 2009 z06 has a clicking/popping noise when driving around over rough roads or even small divots in the road way. I read that it could be the sway bar links aren't tight enough. My car is lowered on stock bolts which is very impractical no matter how good it may look. The thing about the sway bars was also for a c5 not a c6. Anyone have this issue before?

Very common problem, but the 09 and newer received upgraded end links so the problem is less common, but not unheard of.

does it sound like this? sound at 0:40

That's exactly what the noise sounds like.

Is it just an issue of the links coming lose? Or is it a bigger issue since the car is lowered on stock bolts? Anyway to mitigate this issue for awhile? I'm saving for coilovers since I drive the car a lot and I don't want to destroy the thing on these Virginia roads.

You just need new end links. Here's a couple pics. Get the made in Mexico MOOG ones. Easy to change. Stock on the left, MOOG in center (Mexico) and cheap Taiwan on the right.

You can try re-torque the nuts on the endlinks to see if the sound goes away. Mine still clicks a little over rough roads but just going to live with it for a while.
