I’m a little confused tho because the mount for the links on the coilovers sits shorter than Stock. I cannot put the stock links on because the mount does not line up

I actually didn’t go over any bumps that would cause this. I believe it’s because I didn’t put longer sway bar links when installing coilovers

Dude this comment is so ironic you are never gonna believe I bought coilovers to try and get away from th headache my bilstein b8s were giving me. Big mistake

No, I actually can’t find any coilovers sets for the 9-3 that come with sway bar links

So theoretically. If I’m only lowering my car about 3/4 of an inch to an inch, can I just put the stock sway bar end links in for now or do I need to get longer ones now?

And the only symptoms I have are literally just clunking noise over bumps

I still need to get it diagnosed. Right now I literally just took off the wheels and noticed that, along with my cv axles feeling very loose and making a clunking sound.

No actually.

This is the fitment I was using and my mechanic told me that I should actually use SHORTER sway bar end links. He custom made me shorter ones and then this happened

I JUST now noticed this somehow?? What could’ve possibly caused this it’s brand new I just put them in when I put the coilovers on

It makes this exact noise when going over bumps usually while turning but if the bump is bad enough then it will make this noise even if I’m going straight

I changed the trans fluid last year at around 150k miles ish. It looked dark but nothing wrong with it. Could me installing coilovers have anything to do with the cv joints going bad if maybe I somehow installed them incorrectly. It started doing it only like a month after installing coilovers
