Hey guys! I havent been on recently because I got a job and Im working a lot but I still have my camaro and shes still running. Ive started hearing noises coming from my rear end only when its rocked side to side not up and down. I have a feeling its my sway bar. Would I only need to drop it out and replace the bushings? Heres a video of the noise.

Sway bar doesn't seem like its moving. I would say check the lower control arm bushings and panhard bushings. They seemed to move a little more. Could also just be swap bar links. Grab the link and pull it up and down. If it moves, its shot.

 

Sounds like the rear end isn't centered and has play? Check panhard bushings...

Unless your endlink bushings are shot, in that case, might want to take the opportunity to upgrade your sways and bushings -- like Prothane...

I hope all your lugnuts are tight!

 

FosterW – Are you hearing this when you go over bumps or just on turns? Safely climb under your car and put your hand on different suspension pieces and have somebody rock the car. With a clunk like that, you’ll be able to feel it when you’re touching the part giving you trouble. An inexpensive automotive stethoscope will help you track the problem too. That clunk could be coming from a loose panhard bar or even from inside the differential.
