Default Strano sway bar bushing question.

I was just wondering what is the energy suspension part number for Strano rear sway bars? I tightened it down and torqued it to manufactur specs a couple months ago when I was installing it, and now there is some play in the bar when I yank on it makes a clcking like noise, the noise is als when i am driving it.

Do you have the old bars or the new bars? There isn't a specific Energy Suspension number.... You need a set of 22mm bar bushings if you need to replace them but there are two different sized brackets, I see to recall either work but I am not 100% sure on that anymore (since I never use them).

I got them in feb. 2009, so I think it is the new one. I am using the brackets that came with the kit.

That was a transition period. The bushings shouldn't be super tight, the bar has to move and not bind to work properly.

I guess I don't follow why you think there is a problem. Are the bushings lubed? Is there dirt between the bar and the bushings? I can't imagine what clicking noise would stem from with regards to the bar. It just pivots in the bushings.
