Default Problem with my gendron

I've recently started to hear a clank in my car when I go over bumps or turn sharply. When I get it up on jack stands and take the front wheels off, I can grab the sway bar and rattle it around. I'm fairly certain that it's the cause of the noise and even if it isn't, it can't be good. I was wondering if anyone would help me fix this. I will come to you. I tried tightening all the bolts associated with the sound, but none of them were loose. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Clearly you need to lube your muffler bearings and check your Johnson rod.

If those fail to fix the problem, it could be the Flux Capacitor. (In which case, this is a costly repair.)

This is a common problem with the Gendron bar. If you use the search function you will see that a lot of people have the same issue, but I doubt you will find a solution (at least I didn’t find one). I had the issue also, and fixed it by greasing the linkages between the bar and the a-arm and that fixed it.
