I'm off to the MB mechanic to get the kit installed. I'll let you know how it turns out. | ||

The front on both sides. The bars run from the front to the area under the rear passenger door. These suckers are LOUD, too! | ||

JohnL Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Torsion Bar Popping When does the popping occur? I am getting a thump sound whenever I make a hard turn going over a curb. I took it in to the dealer, they lube the rear sway bar but that didn't fix it. Wondering if it could be the torsion bar. Please post what happens and if they fix it. | ||

I do not notice any noises on turning. Just sudden stops and starts. It sounds as if something is going to snap off! | ||

Noodles Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Torsion Bar Popping Thanks Wolfgang, for whatever reason the second page did not post in mine. We both had the same revision, but that second page is very important. Thanks again. | ||

Noodles Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Torsion Bar Popping No problem, I thought mine wear bad and bought the parts $26. Took it all apart and they were fine. It turned out to be the bushings. | ||

Can you post? I believe I have the TSB's on my computer at home. If I find it, I'll post this p.m. I eventually got the popping to stop by lubing with industrial strength silicone. I never got the repair done. All's quiet now. | ||
