Okay I have a question. It's a common question that many Balt owners have and have to deal with.

Lately, my car has been doing it more and more now and I'm starting to get worried.

Sometimes, every other minute when I'm driving and turn the wheel slightly on the road or go over a bump, or turn and go over a slight bump on a road the car makes a knock noise.

Have you ever tried to push books on a bookshelf all the way to the back? And when the books hit the back of the shelf it makes a knock sound? That's how my car sounds like when I'm inside driving.

What could it be? I'm lowered on Eibalch Sportlines for about 1 1/2 to 2 years now.

The problem lies in the stock endlinks not liking lowering springs. Enter the beauty of Powergrid's adjustable sway bar end links. Put stock ones back in... and its only a matter of time before the problem comes back.

The Sportlines don't help the situation. Spring Rates are horrible. I used to have them. Switched to Pedders. Million times better. Gestapo just switched from Sportlines to Pedders, as well. He agrees.

I had Powergrids in my cobalt and they didn't help at all then I switched to Moog Endlinks and god what a difference they made.
