JBR rsb

[phahengpro]

Once again I sent the guys at Edge some of my cash. I am chasing the rear-end "clunk" on my MS3. The stealership said it was the rsb bushings or shocks. Not wanting to give them the money for the work or parts I bought a new rsb from Edge. JBR's stuff is always top-notched as are the Edge guys. It didn't take complete care of the "clunk" but it is better. I'll be ordering some Konis next.

Did you replace your endlinks yet?

^this swaybar clunk is the endlinks not the sway bar itself

tighten them down as tight as you can, then another 1/4 turn. mine started clunking about 200 miles after i put it on, and i retightened it and have not had any issues since.

sometimes not so much. i still had the clunk after replacing bushings and endlinks.. then i bought a JBR RSB and my clunk is gone.

however, since the OP already replaced the RSB and bushings, @Easter Bunny; is spot on.

Lol why?...

Thanks for the input. I was just going by the dealership's diagnosis after a ride in it.

i know, it's stupid when it is explained, but the original sentence made me chuckle. thanks!

..ok lol I thought there was something else to it. That was the whole point I was trying to get across. Make sure its tight.

I am going to pull the shocks today to see how they look. They don't bounce, but they seem to be bottoming out. Oklahoma roads are really shitty. I will give everything a twist for good measure.

Had the same issue with JBR RSB clunking .Replaced Endlinks same issue after few days clunking back again. My permanent fix was by coincidence when I installed GTSPEC Rear Subframe Reinforcement Panel Part #: GTS-SUS-1429 that took care of it I have been running for a year now with no issues.

[phahengpro]

Thanks, I will keep that in mind.

I've had the JBR rsb on for 6 months or so now, no clunks. I had some squeaks that were taken care of by greasing the bushings, but never a clunk. you really do have to tighten the shit out of the end links.

I got down there and cranked them up as tight as I could. I didn't get to the shocks cause I opened up my thumb when I slipped a socket on the bottom nut. I am pretty sure they need to be changed. The ass seems to bottom quite a bit. I think I will go with the endlinks first as that is what many of you are saying, and they are cheaper to replace. I appreciate the advice!!!

Front and rear endlink change=no more clunk. Put in some Moogs and fsb bushings and all is well. Thanks for the info!
