Sway Bars

[dms13]

Does the sway bars make popping like noises if it needs replacement? Is it crucial to replace them ASAP?

Swaybars dont really go bad unless u break or bend them.I would check the brackets that hold the bar on.The u shaped midway brackets(whatever there called).Might wanna check endlinks too if your down there anyway.

One of the bolts that held my passenger side swaybar bracket was loose when i bought the car.It made a popping noise when i turned hard.Just tightened it up and the noise stopped.E-Z Fix in my case.

Jack your car up and find out whats loose. Could just be a sway bar link that is not a big deal or your ball joint could be about ready to fall apart.

Actually they do....

They rust and snap. GO GM! :th_thumbsup-wink:

OP, if either bar is broken then buy this:

Its the cheapest way to replace both bars and ensure another ~10 years of operation.

Then you sell the STB for profit.
