installed the RSX sway, have some issues now

Ok so i put the rsx-s sway bar on my 01 EX. Install went as smooth as can be expected, those end links with that hex head suck to remove. ok so the sway bar is on right, it isnt upside down or anything im sure of that.
first issue
some sort of weird little popping when im driving ( only thought it happened if the bar was on upside down.
second issue
my front tires seem to squeal alot when cornering at low speed.

theree was however a huge difference in handling with my sportlines and yellows i love it.

anyone have some input on these weird conditions?

no problem at all, everything straight forward to me and the hardest part is to deal with the endlink, It has 2 screws on the top and bottom that have to be remove in order to put the hang the sway bar there, and that's all it is, don't force to separate the ball joint or else in endlink you should be alright.

i used stock endlinks and there is no sound or problems just better cornering. maybe you need new tires.

i saw in another post that the plastic cover(?) would catch the sway bar during cornering and needed to be shaved back.

you might want to check to see if your brushing are properly greased. I installed my front sway bar and i would get the popping sounds every once in awhile at low speeds. I re-applied some automotive grease between the brushing and bar and the popping went away.
