Just wanted to give a quick update on my sway bar experience. I have posted in another thread about noises I've been experiencing, turns out it was the end links from what I can tell. Here's my post from that thread.
----------------
So it appears I have figured out both of the noises. at least I believe so. After pulling off the front wheels/tires, double checking everything I could including taking off my skid plates, checking everything under them, checking intercooler, checking exhaust, etc, I decided that the only thing that's changed in quite a while was putting on the Moog sway bar end links. So I decided to take off the two front Moog links, and put my Energy Suspension parts back on. Tightened everything up and tested it on the curb, and sure enough the front noise appears to be gone.
Then, on the back, to help troubleshoot, I just disconnected the rear sway bar, from the Moog links, and tested on the curb, voila, noise gone. So I readjusted the rears, cranked them down real tight and so far the noise is gone.
They were all very tight before, the only thing I can think of is that the studs on the Moog links are definitely smaller in diameter than the holes on the aftermarket sway bars. I'm a little curious if that diameter difference creates a situation where they might exhibit this popping behavior over time. They are still tight, but they begin to move inside the holes. Just a mere thought. So for now, I'll leave it this way, but I'd like to get the moog's working again.
