sway bar problem
i have had a rattling noise after i put my springs on. they all went away but 1 that comes from the rear passenger wheel. i had an rsx type s sway bar but the ppl that did my suspension said it wouldnt fit. so ihad them put the stck one back one. now it looks like they didnt put it on right and that it sits against my exhaust causing a rattle noise....i need to see a pic of the stock rear sway bar to make sure its not upside down or anythin stupid like that.
thank you

Sounds like you could've just solved your own problem. Check that rear anti sway bar because if it IS upside down, most likely it WILL rattle. The stock one gives enough clearance for any exhaust so it's definitely not that. Take it back to the shop if you confirm that your anti sway bar is upside down. If you haven't noticed, the rear anti sway bar on the left side has a curvy design (looks like a "S"), as opposed to the right side which is not a curvy. This is how you can tell if it's been put on incorrectly. I don't see how it could fit on the crossmember if it was upside down though.

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust? Try taking a picture.
Check the hangers from the exhaust muffler. If the exhaust hangers aren't hanging from the rubber pieces, that could allow it to move freely or even bend which could possibly cause it to strike the rear anti sway bar. If that's not it I have no clue. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
