So, I just installed the RSX-s rear sway bar this weekend. I put as much grease as possible and I tight all the nuts as TIGHT as possible, so tight that i actually broke one of the screw. Anyhow, the car is great in handling and no noise on smooth road but when i start hitting bumpy road, i hear a clanging metal noise, it's like something is hittin in the back of my car. I don't have an exaust or muffler so it shouldnt be that. Maybe because my car is too low since i'm on Tein SS right now?? Is this from the rear sway bar? I'm just so frustrated..need help please

What do you guys think?

i'm sure it's not upside down. It just when i drive on bumpy road i start hearing little bit of clangy noise, not too loud but it's hella annoying. Not sure of what to do next. I might try to put some rubber on that muffer part that's close to the sway bar and hopefully the noise will go away.

exhaust could be hitting it ... broken endlinks ...

Don't put rubber unless you want a stinky smell and nasty mess.

Here are some ideas:

1. See where the mufler and swat bar are hitting and dent in some of the muffler tubing to allow for more play room.
or
2. Wrap fiberglass header wrap on the area on the muffler tubing or the sway bar. This will reduce the metal to metal sound.

He is running stock exhaust system. I have a magnaflow catback with 2.25 inch piping and my rsx sway bar never hits the piping at all. I have no noises what so ever. But i am at stock height.

Could it be that he is too lowered? Should he raise it up a little?
