Question (update) Problem from Prgress front sway bar

[LEFT]I just finished my front progress sway bar yesterday.
Why after put this on, it has noise when I drive on the road.
The noise is sound like something is crash with sway bar. It's Pretty lound.
But when I check the car there are still have enough space for sway bar.
And the bar is look fine and everything are look fine. But the things is I cannot find out where cause the noise, but when I drive the noise is come from the sway bar.
Did anyone know this kind problem, or anyone have this kind problem before[/LEFT

did you apply grease generously? by generously i mean a lot more than what was provided by progress.

did you torque the bolts to spec?

If you have a knocking sound it's either because the bars were not installed properly or there is a problem somewhere else. They're just swaybars and they fit fine. You can use all the front or rear bar settings.

Jeesh, some people are so clueless ...
