Default HELP! My A4 sounds like a rusted-out '76 Bronco . . . .

I am currently running the Koni/Intrax setup with Neuspeed 29mm front and 19mm rear sway bars (on the softer setting). The car's back end creaks and squeaks HORRIBLY . . . even when going over 1/2" bumps.

I ran the Koni/Intrax setup for several months with no problems. I have been running the sways since June, but haven't really noticed the noises until the past month or so.

Any ideas? Do I need to have the sways relubed already?

BTW, I had the sways installed @ MotoPersona, so I certainly can't fault the professionalism of the install.

Do you have reinforcement brackets on the frame?

I'm pretty sure I do. I'll have to go check tomorrow.

I was thinking that maybe your frame could be creaking that would be bad.
