    That sucks. If it makes you feel any better I should remove my passenger side one and cut back even more around the inner door handle.

    Those are brand new with polyurethane ones. And it's a different noise than what they made.

    You already did tie rods, inner and outer? Tack the steering column slip joint?

    yep did inner and outer tie rods. Have not tacked the slip joint. But it's not that either. I know that sound and I don't mind that. The one I'm hearing is probably 5 times louder and feels like it's right beneath the driver seat. Maybe a little bit behind me. And it happens only during high body roll situations.

    Ah, yeah could be lots of things then. I think your guess of sway bar bushings is pretty good. Maybe control arm bushings too.

    :eek:

    It only happens when it's below freezing as well which is weird. But the rubber bushings will definitely shrink a little in the cold so that may be it.

    I've been meaning to take Off the sway bar anyway and that will at least narrow it down.

    Exactly what it sounds like. But no. Nothing back there that can roll around.

    They're brand new with my leaf springs this summer so I hope not. They do creak though. Not enough grease I suppose.
