Hotchkis rear sway bar noise?

Installed a 25mm Hotchkis rear swaybar about 4 months ago and have recently developed a heavy rattle/ clunk when I go over bumps, cracks, potholes etc. TO those of you who have this same bar, have you had any issues with this before? Any solutions? Thanks in advance!

Check your endlinks and make sure the nuts are tightened good as well.

I have the same bar on my car for almost 3 years. No problems what-so-ever.

I had the same issue with my 25.5 bar. My one end-link was a hair loose and tighten the end-link bolt make the noise go away.
