Rear end clunk after sway bar install

Search didn't show any whiteline specific clunk issues so i thought I would
post this up.

02 wrx wagon on stock suspension other than a 22mm adjustable Whiteline
"Flatout" rear sway bar with whiteline endlinks and whiteline heavy duty sway
bar mounts.

I put on the sways exactly a week before this clunk first showed up. The
clunk happens the first time I turn right or left and only when the turn is
significant enough to get a little bit of body roll. If i turn in the same direction
a second time there is no clunk but when I turn in the opposite direction it
clunks.

The clunk was caused by a sway bar to end link connecting bolt that was
about 1/2 a turn loose. If you get clunking after a sway bar install, go back
and check if your bolts are properly torqued down.




P.S. and if you keep getting a CEL after a sway bar install then check if your
charcoal canister hoses are attached and secured.
