Off to the dealership for my problems any advice?

Like I mention in my other thread, i've been getting this clicking noise from my suspension, and checked pretty much everything w/o luck. So I made an appointment today to get that check on tomorrow along with the new flash. This is my first time taking my car in for some troubleshooting with current mods, so i'm wondering what should I expect. I have springs, and ms sway bars both installed by me. I don't want my warranty branded either. So any tips or advice facing the all mighty dealership?

The sways could could make some of your "clicking" if you hadn't put enough or too much silicon in the joints. Also, did you make sure to torque everything to proper spec? A user on here had some funny noise after installing his RB sway bars and it was a torque issue.

The torquing part I didn't know there was a spec to follow. But it was on pretty tight also i never placed any silicon on the joints either (would this be it). It just sounds like the front sway bar is a little loose, but everything is torque down pretty well.

If you don't use silicon I would expect it to at least squeak, this "maybe" the clicking too? Dunno... :o
