Exclamation Stut bar and other help

ok guys my rear strut bar is bent and there is also this weird noise comming from the rear passenger side every time i make a hard right.
my question is what could be making this noise as i make a turn? could it be the bent strut bar or something else?
well, i am ordering the whole suspension package at racing beat (springs /front and rear stut bars)
could anyone help me out here. i will take some pics later
thanks,
josh
oh and also the rear strut bar is bent by the passenger's side.

Bend is normal on the oem one's, not on the aftemarket one's. Noise could be bearings or brakes.

your strut bar, is that the same as your "sway bar"?
Cause if that bends normal, I hammered it straight and painted it LOL!!!
I need to pass a safety.

but since i hammered it in place, my rides much stiffer.
I'm also ordering new suspension.

tell me how that suspension from RB rides.
I'm thinking about getting the exact same thing,
how long did they tell you for shipping?/ the cost with shipping?

as for the noise, check your bearings out bro.

the stock sway bar is supposed to have that bend in it to clear the watts link attachment bracket.

yea guys, well its time for my old sway bar to go, if anyone wants to buy it PM me and ill let u know when its gonna come out. the old one i think has absolutly no rust (i think).
RX7KENN i live in hawaii so shipping will probably take at least a week, but i have heard good things about RB springs.
As for pricing they are gonna send me the bill when i recieve the parts.
