Thanks Spook,

Yea, I had no noise before I installed them so just assumed the noise was related to the front sway bar end link.

I replaced the bar with a new one. Where the bolt goes through is a rubber bushing, at the end with the two poly bushings is where the nut in question is.

I compressed the bushings on the nut side until the bushings were compressed. Upon checking them today the bolt was not even finger tight.

I suppose if I put thread locker on them the nut would stay put. I believe that over the course of the month or two since installing them they bushings relaxed a bit and created more slack in the nut holding them on/in.

The end link and bushings are from IPD.
