would anyone be so kinda as to post all the torque specs for the perrin rear endlinks and mounts for the sway bar. I have noticed little clicks and clunks also. I just never tool the time to actually look and see what the hell it was. The car feels fine. I drove my brothers near stock WRX. Not as fun but dam it doesnt rattle clunk clang or anything like that. Its the sense of feeling my car is going to rattle apart that bugs me. THanks guys.

 

I don't know if the Perrin parts are different for some reason but stock is:

Endlinks: 33.2 ft-lb
Swaybar brackets: 18.1 ft-lb

Not much at all.

 

thanks dude

 

Guys,

If the end link bolts aren't your problem (you checked and they're tight).

TRY THIS...

White lithium paste (or any other lube) on the part where the rubber bushing and swaybar meet (the bushing for the two inner loops that are held by the sway bar mounts NOT the endlinks). Hell you can even try shooting a little WD40 to see if it'll go away then you know to go buy the paste and take everything apart to apply it.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH THE PERRIN BAR..

I had constant clunking problems with my bar. It was hitting the stock exhaust on bumps and sharp turns. After talking with Jeff Perrin about it we figured out how to fix it.

Loosen the u shaped brackets that hold the sway bar to the mounts. Slide the U shape brackets and swaybar as far forward (toward the front of the car) as you can, then retighten the bolts on the U shaped Brackets. I originally centered them, but this leaves teh bar too far back. You have about .75"-1" of play in those brackets which is all that is needed to stop the bar from clunking.

No clunking since I did that.

Sometimes as the endlinks shift about you get closer and further from points where the knocking occurs. This is why you hear it sometimes and sometimes you dont.
