I've been through a lot of swaybar installs and had my fair share of clunking in the past so I made sure everything was tight. So far I haven't encountered any clunking.

I did lengthen the endlinks a little bit with the Strano bar versus the Whiteline one because when loaded the Strano bar was hitting the unibody on the inside, the Whiteline curves further out. I also made sure the Strano wasn't hitting the control arm then.

This noise is a metallic grinding noise and it does seem to increase with wheel speed, very strange. The only time I've heard something similar is rubbing on a heat shield. Ah well it will just take some more investigation, I'll put the car up in stands and I do have two jacks I can use to load the suspension.
