i get this noise whenever i pull into the driveway (going right) or enter a plaza at an angle

i did install tl-s sways in may without replacing the endlinks... is it likely the end link?

other potential causes?

2007 sedan 92000km, bone stock suspension aside from the tl-s sway bars front and rear

also i'll add, ive never heard the sound going over a straight bump

Check both of your endlinks.

Just check for any kind of play dude. You may not have tightened them completely.

Would I be able to reach it if I turn to lock w/o jacking it up?

Also, does anyone make aftermarket endlinks for 7g?

I believe Moog makes endlinks with grease fittings. As far as being able to check the link by turning to lock, I'm not entirely sure. I haven't paid much attention to the FSB since it's stock and I haven't touched it. Honestly, taking off the wheel would make it a lot easier for you as opposed to squeezing between the wheel and fender. Shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to pop the wheel off and check for play.

How long of a lunch break do you have? If you have an hour, you should be able to pull it off (checking that is) rather easy.

i turned full lock and was able to get a good look at both sides and tug on it
it didnt seem loose from tugging on it

one thing I noticed with the driver side front bracket was that it didnt seem to be down all the way (small gap between bracket and frame), was not like this on the passenger side
