I gotta tighten up the bolts for that Front Swaybar...it be clunking on turns and bumps. Should be the same screw up that I did with the Rear...I think it's the end links that aren't tight

Gonna wait until the weekend when my back isn't so sore :banana:

^^^Oh I didn't even realize that y'all used loctite!

I didn't use any on the RSB! D'oh! No wonder I saw blue all over the place!

I got some loctite red...should be fine right?

Edit: Ty has PM...I'm betting that it is the end-links because I didn't check them as well as I could've.

I see!

I think I need to borrow someone's ramps again to tighten them with a load on the suspension...since last time we tightened without a load.

Ty you have a PM...let's try today...call me or PM me where to go and when to come. I have a hugely strong feeling that the clunking is the end links.

Oh btw...Justin, the rear of mine doesn't clunk at all...well at least it stopped clunking after I tightened everything again.
