Just installed upgrade sway, hearing knock noise
 
Just installed an Eibach front sway bar on my 03 lx a Sunday the 16th, and ive been hearing a popping noise near the passenger side. The sway bar link is a cheap one and i think it may not be up good enough for the larger bar and it knocks around. The driver side one on the other hand it's a higher grade one with grease fittings and it doesnt make any noise. The bushings were greased before installing, and it doesnt seem to be hitting anything else, it does come within CM of the control arms but doesnt seem to be hitting those either.

Does anyone have an idea what could be making the noise, i have yet to install the rear, but one of the new links i had gotten for the rear were just like the one of the front which may cause the noise.

Thanks for help

Make sure the nuts are tight enough.

In addition to that make sure the bushings are good..

if its not silicon based grease it will squeak within days depending on temps...you can put 5 gallons of the wrong type of grease in the bushings and it will still do it.
