Unhappy Thump noise w/ Daizen Sways?

I recently installed the Daizen Sway. I have been very happy with the performance. The car corners a lot flatter and the over all handling is significantly improved.

This morning while driving to work, I noticed a thump noise in the front whenever one of the front wheels goes over a bump. Any one have any idea what's causing that noise?

Thanks,

Marc.

Check the bolts that are holding the bars...see if they are tight!

yeah check if they are all tightened down right, and on the other hand i think you can't tighten them too much?

Exclamation Don 't wait...

I wouldn't wait for the weekend to check it if I were you. If there were loose bolts and the sway bar actually came loose while driving... Not worth the risk!
