Disco Creaks & Groans

I installed a set of RE discos on my essentially stock '95 Sport about a week ago. Installation was fairly straightforward, and when I was through the setup looked pretty good, and definetly functional.

I never had any noise from the stock setup, because of course it's a solid rod connected via rubber bushes. I'm finding with the RE multi-piece setup however (2 disconnect end links/snap pins, and a center tube per side), that when the suspension articulates with the sway bar connected, the RE assembly makes a clunking sound - something I didn't anticipate happening.

In a matter of speaking, I guess it makes sense that there's going to be some play in even a tight fitting assembly, but everything else in the suspension is tight and it's kind of a pisser to have this one component clunking around.

So, my question is, do all discos make noise to a greater or lesser degree, or is this just a RE phenomenon?

Thanks,
John

I think it's an RE thing. I have JKS discos on my truck and they're quiet.

time will tell whether or not I can live with that clunking sound every time I hit a big crack in the road!!

so turn up the stereo, or put some swampers on it. then you won't hear the clunking

I've got JKS and they are quiet, too.
