Changed mine out over the weekend at 25k... fairly nasty fluid and magnets were gunked up with no discernable particles of size. Replaced with Mobil1 75w-90 front and rear.

The front under tray was the biggest pain.

Check to make sure the ends of the RSB and the endlinks are not contacting the lower spring perches. Maybe try a different setting on the sway bar to see if the clunk goes away. Also, I had one of the longer bolts supplied with my WL swaybar break when I did the install and I had to replace it with a higher grade bolt.

 

The long bolts still look good. There was a bracket from the lower driver control arm (HID level sensor?) that seem to be touching the sway bar so I flexed it out of the way... It was not the cause of the noise. I spent an hour under the rear looking for any points of contact... To me it almost sounds like subframe flex and a broken weld/connection flexing? I hope not. I am going to remove the swaybar and either install the stock one or take it for a short drive without one and see if the noise is still present. Just to do some process of elimination for sanity.

I just installed this Whiteline bar on mid setting and now I am getting an intermittent clunk from the rear... Trying to track it down. I hope it's not the endlinks.

I retorqued everything and all is good with that... still getting the clunk though.

Noticed something from the pics above, Does the 3.6R have a different rear diff or just a finned cover?
