i just installed a RalliTek rear sway bar on my car. i had followed all the directions and put plenty of grease on the bushings. ive recently noticed these wheezing and rattling noises coming from the rear of my car. it happens very sporadically with no one thing triggering the sounds. its very random though, sometimes it will happen a lot on my drives other times it doesnt happen at all.

i thought the wheezing might be due to the endlinks, but why would those be under pressure when im going straight down the road?

any ideas whats up with the thing?

so when i took my car in to get the Kumhos put on i asked the mechanic to come in and take a look underneath the car to figure out what the sound was. after he and i took a look, we found that the sway bar was hitting the lower assembly of the right rear suspension, i think its called a lower control arm. i went ahead and raised the height of the bushings and it seems for the most part to go away. only time i hear it now is when im going up my really steep driveway.

Is this from an 00-04 Legacy?
