Couple days after installing the hotchkis sway bars I have noticed a noise coming from the front sway bar. Noise all occurs at slow speed. I checked to see that the bolts are securely tighten. Anyone come across noise in the front sway.
What kind of noise are you hearing? I hear a noise like something is moving around and loose at low speed. I checked everything, but I don't know what is making the noise.
I am sure you lubed the bushings, but if not and you are hearing a squeaking noise- that's the issue
Debating whether to vinyl wrap the roof gloss black or leave the car the way it is. Will it be too much black or will it go well with the roof spoiler and rear diffuser.

It's definitely a squeak noise. I'm going to reapply the grease and see if the noise goes away
That should do the trick. You should have the zirk (sp?) fittings on the bushing mounts so you can easily re-grease the bushings without taking everything apart.
So i greased the bushings yesterday. Noise is still there. Brought it to my mechanic today and he thinks it's the right shock causing the noise. He removed the front sway bar and noticed the sound was still there. Noise started happening after I installed the front sway bar. Any ideas
hey guys. Ive driving around with the creaking noise for a while. Today i decided to retorque the nuts on the mounts holding the bushing and snapped one the stud that screws the nut into. is there anyway of fixing this issue. btw car makes more noise than before

I used an impact wrench gun. Gun has no pre set torque setting
ouch...overkill. Invest in a torque wrench if you are a DYI'er.
As far as your squeaks, which type of bushing grease are you using? FWIW, I've used Prothane bushing grease when I installed my Eibach rear sway bar and it still feels 'slippery'. I checked it out while installing the Fast Intentions CBE last week....so far so good and went thru it's first winter.
I have a 1/2" torque wrench but don't have the correct socket for it. Hence why I used the impact wrench gun.
I'm using super lube synthetic grease and its holding up fine. I actually greased it a lot and still making noise.

I had the same issue a few thousand miles after I had my eibach sways installed, are you running oem or did you install new endlinks? My oems went bad after having them installed and had to get new ones.
