Mine did! no wander but really random clunking not directly associated with anything. It made me looking for the noise. Best / Cheapest repair made to date. Tightened and quieted everything right up - JT
Got a heavy clunk sound, kinda like somethings loose but its all good. Dogbones rubber looks trashed but I dont get the normal car wandering symptoms.
Do these things make niose when there shot?

Nope, they easy. Only trick is push real hard to get the new ones over the end of the sway.Originally Posted by 632 Regal

I mean these things: 33321126476 #6 in the pic: This is what I thought dogbones were, the sway bar parts are tight as can be.

It couldnt be easier. I used a box end on the top bolt and socket/ratchet on the bottom bolt of the frame side Bolts. think the hardest part of the job is getting the car jacked up on stands - JT
These are the ones you're talking about aren't they. I've recently done mine and found them quite a nuisance but not that difficult. I found getting the right hand side one harder to get lined up than the left (exhaust) side. They are pliable (the rubbers not the arms) and you will have to line them up by manipulating the rubbers. Also be sure to check which way up they go and where the washers go by remembering how the old ones came out Good luck. It took me about 1.5 hrs to do with basic tools. One final thing. They DO NOT need to be torqued under load.
