My rear bar clunks in the cold. Not broken, but needs to be greased.

 

it came fully assembled. i made sure everything is correct even the height. it had alignment problems before, but thats due to the height uneven (tooken care of). no its just the rattlin in the rear thats annoying me. any other inputs will be great.

 

sorry to bring this back up but whatever happened to the broken bracket situation? did you come up with some beefier brackets or something?

 

I got some very special RED....................Duct tape holding it up now. Will be looking for beefier ones tomorrow. I will let you know. If I cant find beefier ones, I will have Beefier ones MADE! I will let you know tomorrow.

 

yeah i keep having a similar problem. my brackets aren't broken but my sway keeps knocking and i want to upgrade the brackets and find some poly bushings for it. let me know what happens.

 

Will do! I am back to work today, as are most of the"shops".

 

any update on these brackets?

 

I have it taped with Duct-tape now, am getting some fabricated, and stronger. I will send you a couple if you need them!

 

might be interested. pics and price? oh and do you know anyone that has poly sway bar bushings? energy? i think they do but you have to buy the whole rear kit to get em.

 

just wanted to update this thread. i found the problem of my knocking. it was my passenger side perrin endlink. the nut on the upper bolt that connects to the control arm was backing off little by little and eventually starting to move around when the sway bar needed to do its job. all fixed now and been pretty quiet for a while. still have some bushing noise. i really wish someone would come out with a heavy duty bracket/poly sway bushing kit for the evo.

 

We have the same parts!! I have to go look at mine!! Great post!

 

Yeah we are pretty close to being identical! lol. Color and all.

 

Not that it was the end all to the broken bracket but the lubrication at those bushings is very important. What happens if you don't lube them properly is the bushing sticks to the bar and the whole bracket will get twisted when the bar twists. Just an idea.
