    Default VT Sway Bar

    My 2000 VT Wagon has started making a little
    clunkinig noise when I go over bumps. I have been told
    it is my sway bar.

    Do I have to replace the whole sway bar or just the
    little rubber bits on the end.

    Also does anyone know how easy this is ?

    Thanks

    It will most likely be just the sway bar bushes on the link pins. Fairly eays to replace. Another option is to replace the straight link pins with the better suit S shaped aftermarket option. Examples of these can be found on ebay from the makers WASP and Nolathane etc.

    Thanks Alot,

    I have just put some new 18" TSW Mags on it with Semi-Slick (potenza RE54os)
    on it so they really grip to the road.

    You think they may have caused it ?

    No, the bushes just wear out, very common.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
