Weird noise after sway bar install
 
This has been happening since I installed my sway bar about 2+ years ago. It only happens when I make hard right turns.

After I make the turn, I begin to hear a whining noise coming from the front of the car, it sounds like the drivers side. The sound gets louder as I accelerate and goes away once I turn the car off and leave it for a little while.

It really makes no sense to me, but it did start after the sway bar install :bang: It has only happened about 10-15 times as I know how to avoid it

Any ideas?

Maybe you overheated the P/S pump? Bad wheel bearing? Kinda weird that it goes away after you've left it sitting for a while. Sway bar could be binding up on something. So if you do take a hard right and not try to avoid it, it will do it everytime?

I could leave it sitting for 5-10 min and it goes away, in fact it will go away after driving for a while. I know it happened the other day as I left work and before I got home (20 min) the sound was gone.

Yes, it will do it everytime I take a hard right turn, and everything looks good with the sway bar. Took the old one off and put the new one back on int he same exact spot. It certainly started after the sway bar though

Really weird....I have no clue
