rear sway bar idea

[krylonking104]

I've got a noise coming from my rear sway bar tapping on my exhaust flange ... has anyone else had this problem? possibility of bad endlinks?

I had an idea or wrapping the rear sway bar in rubber to eliminate the noise... any takes on the idea?

might work, what about silicone or whatever someone was talking about putting on their motor mounts in another thread?

rubber would work. just get some coolant hosing from an auto parts store and zip tie it around the bar.

Check your bushings on your swaybar brackets...if the bar has enough play to move and hit your exhaust flange then chances are your bushings might be somewhat gone and the bar has room for play. If it's the exhaust hitting the swaybar though then as some have suggested, either add some rubber in between or adjust your exhaust to maybe hang a tad lower.

^that.

Yeah I would check the bushings before anything else. If you wrap the bar in rubber it might work, but your sway bar will still be loose, and thus, less functional.

Check the endlinks and bushings. If they are good and tight...then just take a pair of pliers and bend down the exhaust hanger a bit

If the sway bar is wrapped in rubber and the exhaust is hitting it, isn't there a possibility of the exhaust melting the rubber?
