Well to start it off, I got new swaybars from stranoparts 2 weeks ago. The install was pretty easy, and I followed the instructions (and a video I found) as well as possible. I have been driving around with them now since the 22nd, and everything worked perfectly and fine before yesterday. That being said, yesterday I was driving, and I felt an odd bump from somewhere under my foot accompanied with a possibly imaged noise. This happened every couple of seconds (felt like every time I went over a slight bump or dip in the road) all day long, and it's making me kind of nervous. Now, before anyone gets the wrong idea, I am kind of hesitant to blame the swaybars because they seemed to be really well made and if they were truly the cause, I would think they would have started making noise earlier. So does anyone have any ideas on what may be the problem? Swaybars? Shocks? Something loose? Do I need to buy a supercharger to fix it (please be this one)? Thanks in advance.

First thing I would do is just go back and make sure everything is tight and that nothing worked itself loose. Unless you managed to bend or brake a sway bar, I doubt it is the swaybars, most likely just the mounting brackets. But if all else fails buy a supercharger which will eliminate all other noises with the whine lol.

That might be the solution, you know. I might just have to do that. Maybe I should buy Koni Yellows and Steeda Ultralites while I am at it, just to make sure it isn't the shocks/struts/springs.

( I will take a look under there when I get the chance)

Lack of a supercharger is definitely your problem. I'd start there, then if that doesnt resolved the issue, maybe look at the bolts and make sure they are tightened to torque spec.

Well actually I don't have a torque wrench (anymore) and the instructions did not give any specs to tighten the bolts to. In the video, they do not show a torque wrench, but do show the guys tightening the swaybar down by hand.

Yeah I had that front end thunk. Got the m90 and didnt hear it for 6 months, it must have fixed it.

Now 6 months later I hear it again. Got some GT500 strut mounts to fix it.

Double check those bolts, its usually the obvious thing.

But only double check those after the SC install as a proactive measure of course!

Supercharges fix everything. They are ducktape for our cars. Even boost low self esteem levels (boost haha).

I have gotten a clunk from loose end-links in the front and busted strut mounts...

MustangFirstCar

Man I really hope it's not busted strut mounts. I can't go jack the car up because it's 22 degrees and my garage is not heated, plus there is no light so I'd have to keep the garage door open.
