23mm Rear Sway Bar Clink Sound

I'm getting a rather loud clinking sound after installing my VIP customs rear bar. I just had the car aligned and corner balanced and it handles perfectly but it's loud. Sounds like an NYC taxi with 300k miles on it. Suspension tech that did the alignment said he went over everything several times and couldn't figure it out. I'm curious if any of you guys have experienced any thing like this. I really believe it's hitting the rear trailing arms somehow.

Solved this. I feel silly...I managed to cross thread one of the end links when I installed them and it wasn’t getting tight enough. Hit it again with the impact wrench and the sound is almost gone. Will replace as soon as the new one comes in.
