Double think on getting the Altas. Mine creak horrendously . Alta is sending out some replacement heim joints, I hope they work .

 

I guess i'm the only person with them who doesn't seem to hear the noise.

 

I have the H-Sports and have had no trouble, noise or other wise. They also look to be easier to adjust.

 

Mine are fine.

 

Yea but you only drive 25 mph BTW are my heim joints in yet? You get the cup holders?

 

Now that I have teflon heim joints I don't hear any more noise either.(he says with fingers crossed.)

Willum do you have any ruff surfaces on that Webb sway-bar? If the bar or bushings aren't real smooth the lube may not be able to overcome the friction. Some people that run the H-Sport sand off the paint on the bar to prevent any grooves forming where the paint has worn away in spots.

 

And some people can hear a mouse squeak 100 miles away. And how about all that road noise from the tires rubbing on the pavement. Maybe we should lube those, too.

Just for that i'm gonna come and rock up and down on your driveway at the shop and drive you nuts .

 

Some grooves had formed, so took 600grit wet/dry sandpaper and polished the bar and the inside of the bushings....the bar rotates nice 'n smooth, with no binding.....most of the noise started with the install (last year) of the Hsport springs and Koni yellows, so I'm wondering if something is a-miss there and the noise is amplified by the swaybar. With the bar disconnected, I can jack up/down the rear trailing arm and get a similar (creak) but not as loud, when the spring/shocks approach their normal position (as if the suspension/tires was sitting on the ground). Hard to troubleshoot with 1 person to look/listen/feel and move the suspension through it's full range of motion. Can't hear a mouse squeek from 100mi away.....but you sure can hear this.

 

Steve volunteers to put his head on the ground just behind you car while you try and reproduce that nagging squeak by rolling your car back and forth. You know.............no pain no gain kinda thing.

 

But seriously. If the squeak is louder with the bar attached it could be the extra spring load of the sway-bar is putting the noise causing part in more tension causing a louder noise. The wooden rod to the ear method I think is in order.

Sway-bar end links????

 

I hear ya.....Oops, did I just roll over Steve
I even set the bar at it's lowest setting...no change. And I've also replaced the end links with the TSW....no change. Pretty much at the point of having the good Doctor look at it.....if he's OK after squashing his melon...

 

No heim joints yet, but the cup holders are in, and loaded in the trailer.

 

Bring atleast one back . Have a good time, don't gamble to much . You guy's be safe, Jim

 

How do you expect me to hear anything with all that blood running out of my ears?

Steve

 

Turn on some good music and all those noises might go away.

 

Get a louder exhaust.

Steve

 

Have a profitable trip and drive carefully.

 

TO EVERYONE: ENJOY AMVIV, WISH I COULD GO.

 

Why would you want to go? You enjoy working way to much.

 

Yea right
I am down 2 sous chefs and my prospective candidates are slow in returning their decisions to the offers presented
Which means even more work for me and to top it off my boss wants me to add another 5-8 items to the menu and reduce labor and food costs
Now if I could only get a day off to go out and try my new "tune" and releive some stress...

 

If you're off saturday or sunday you should come to AUTOX.

 

I wish. My next day off is hopefully Tuesday, but seeing as Monday is the end of Period I will most likely be doing inventory
