Help on Sway bars problem - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I install BMR front and rear sway bars on my SS M6 camaro a few months ago.
And I have been hearing a noise just like a metal being stretch every time i steer the steering wheel. I'm thinking it might be from the end link since i did not replace the original. Does anyone have the same issue as i have?

well... while i can't say i know what metal stretching sounds like.. when i put on my sway bars i didn't get the bolt on the front right tight enough because i didn't have an impact... tech at the dealer drove it.. put it up on the lift.. hit the nut with an impact, and the noise was gone. hope that helps

The first thing I would recommend is getting up underneath the car and make sure everything is tight. See if you can get somebody in the car to turn the steering wheel while you are under the car so you can try to recreate the noise and see where it is coming from. Let me know what find and I will do whatever I can to help you out.

MillerTime thanks for the tip I will try that tomorrow.

Kyle went to the shop today and they tighten everything, mechanic told me it might be coming from front endlink or from bushing from the sway bar. But i will try Millertime advise and see what happens.

What Kyle said! If you can replicate it it shouldn't be hard to identify. It wouldn't be a bad idea to change those OEM links anyways
